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.

Kilopound-Force [kipf]

The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

1 \text{ kipf} = 1,000 \text{ lbf} \approx 4,448.22 \text{ newtons}

The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.
It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.
