What are Petanewton and Ton-force

Definition of Petanewton

A Petanewton (PN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 10^15 newtons, where a newton is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Petanewtons are typically used in scientific and engineering contexts where extremely large forces need to be described. This unit is crucial for understanding and calculating forces in large-scale phenomena, such as astrophysical events or massive engineering projects.

Definition of Ton-force

A Ton-force (long) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and UK. It is defined as the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). This unit is often used in engineering and construction to quantify large forces. It provides a practical measure for understanding the substantial force exerted by heavy machinery, large structures, and significant weights, making it indispensable in various industrial applications.
