Piconewton [pN]

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

1 piconewton (pN) equals $10^{-12}$ 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 \text{ pN} = 0.000000000001 \text{ N}

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

Kilonewton [kN]

The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 \text{ kN} = 1,000 \text{ N}

It represents the force required to accelerate a 1,000 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.
Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure larger forces in engineering, construction, and physics, such as the load on structures, thrust in engines, or tension in cables.

Example: The force exerted by a 100 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 0.98 kN.
