What are Petanewton and Ton-force

Definition of Petanewton

A Petanewton (PN) is a unit of force equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) newtons. It is used in scientific fields to measure extremely large forces. The term originates from the combination of the metric prefix 'peta-', denoting a factor of 10^15, and 'newton', the SI unit of force named after Sir Isaac Newton. This unit is essential in contexts involving astronomical forces, such as gravitational interactions between celestial bodies.

Definition of Ton-force

A Ton-force (metric ton-force or tf) is a unit of force representing the force exerted by one metric ton of mass in standard gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. This unit is commonly used in engineering and construction to quantify the exerted forces. It is crucial in understanding load-bearing capacities and mechanical advantages in various structural and mechanical systems.
