Petanewton [PN]

Petanewton is a very large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 petanewton (PN) equals $10^{15}$ newtons.

  
  
• 
  

  It represents forces much larger than those encountered in everyday life or typical engineering but smaller than exanewtons.

  
  
• 
  

  Such forces might be relevant in astrophysics, like the force between massive celestial bodies.

  
  

Mathematically:

Petanewtons are mainly used in theoretical and high-scale physics contexts.

Millinewton [mN]

Millinewton is a small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 millinewton (mN) equals $10^{-3}$ newtons (0.001 newton).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used to measure very small forces, such as in microengineering, delicate instrumentation, or biomechanical applications.

  
  
• 
  

  To put it in perspective:

  
  

Millinewtons are useful for expressing forces smaller than centinewtons, allowing precise measurement of low-force phenomena.
