Teranewton [TN]


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



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.



Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]


This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).



  • It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.



  • It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.



  • In basic terms:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s2=force×distance÷time21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 = \text{force} \times \text{distance} \div \text{time}^2

  • Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s21.35582 N\cdotpm/s21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 \approx 1.35582 \text{ N·m/s}^2

  • Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
