Examples
1
Consider a large rocket engine producing a thrust of 100 giganewtons. Convert this thrust from giganewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of rocket engine in giganewtons is:
Force(Giganewtons) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert force from giganewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Giganewtons) × 1e-6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of rocket engine, Force(Giganewtons) = 100 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 100 × 1e-6
Force(Petanewtons) = 0.0001
Final Answer:
Therefore, 100 GN is equal to 0.0001 PT.
The force of rocket engine is 0.0001 PT, in petanewtons.
2
Consider a superstructure experiencing 50 giganewtons of force. Convert this force from giganewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of superstructure in giganewtons is:
Force(Giganewtons) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from giganewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Giganewtons) × 1e-6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of superstructure, Force(Giganewtons) = 50 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 50 × 1e-6
Force(Petanewtons) = 0.00005
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 GN is equal to 0.00005 PT.
The force of superstructure is 0.00005 PT, in petanewtons.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
Petanewtons
A petanewton (PT) is equal to 1015 newtons. It’s an extremely large unit of force, mostly theoretical, used in astrophysics or high-energy physics to describe forces acting at a massive scale, such as between planets or in star formation.
