Petanewton [PN]


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



  • 1 petanewton (PN) equals 101510^{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:


1 PN=1015 N1 \text{ PN} = 10^{15} \text{ N}

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


Ton-Force (Long) [tonf (UK)]


The long ton-force (also called the UK ton-force) is a unit of force based on the long ton, traditionally used in the United Kingdom.



  • A long ton equals 2,240 pounds (lbs).



  • The long ton-force is the force exerted by a long ton mass under standard gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 tonf (UK)=2,240 lbsร—9.80665 m/s2โ‰ˆ9,964.02 newtons1 \text{ tonf (UK)} = 2,240 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 9,964.02 \text{ newtons}

  • It is used in engineering and industries where the long ton is the standard measure of mass.



  • This unit is larger than the short ton-force and differs from the metric ton-force.
