What is the Formula to convert Kilonewtons to Petanewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Kilonewtons to Petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Kilonewtons) × 1e-12
Substitute the given value of force in kilonewtons, i.e., Force(Kilonewtons) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in petanewtons, i.e., Force(Petanewtons).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider a crane exerting a force of 2 kilonewtons to lift a heavy load. Convert this force from kilonewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of crane lifting a load in kilonewtons is:
Force(Kilonewtons) = 2
Formula:
The formula to convert force from kilonewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Kilonewtons) × 1e-12
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of crane lifting a load, Force(Kilonewtons) = 2 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 2 × 1e-12
Force(Petanewtons) = 0
Final Answer:
Therefore, 2 kN is equal to 0 PT.
The force of crane lifting a load is 0 PT, in petanewtons.
2
Consider an elevator that requires a force of 5 kilonewtons to lift its weight. Convert this force from kilonewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of elevator in kilonewtons is:
Force(Kilonewtons) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert force from kilonewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Kilonewtons) × 1e-12
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of elevator, Force(Kilonewtons) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 5 × 1e-12
Force(Petanewtons) = 0
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 kN is equal to 0 PT.
The force of elevator is 0 PT, in petanewtons.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Kilonewtons to Petanewtons in Force?
The formula to convert Kilonewtons to Petanewtons in Force is:
Kilonewtons * 1e-12
2. Is this tool free or paid?
This Force conversion tool, which converts Kilonewtons to Petanewtons, is completely free to use.
3. How do I convert Force from Kilonewtons to Petanewtons?
To convert Force from Kilonewtons to Petanewtons, you can use the following formula:
Kilonewtons * 1e-12
For example, if you have a value in Kilonewtons, you substitute that value in place of Kilonewtons in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Petanewtons.
