Piconewton [pN]


Piconewton is a very tiny unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 piconewton (pN) equals 10โˆ’1210^{-12} newtons (0.000000000001 newton).



  • It is commonly used in molecular biology, biophysics, and nanotechnology to measure forces at the molecular or atomic scale.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 pN=0.000000000001 N1 \text{ pN} = 0.000000000001 \text{ N}

Piconewtons allow scientists to quantify incredibly small forces, such as those involved in DNA stretching or molecular interactions.


Giganewton [GN]


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



  • 1 giganewton (GN) equals 10910^{9} newtons.



  • This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 GN=1,000,000,000 N=109 N1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.
