Examples
1
Consider a bridge designed to withstand a force of 20 meganewtons. Convert this force from meganewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force in meganewtons is:
Force(Meganewtons) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert force from meganewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Meganewtons) × 1e-9
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Force(Meganewtons) = 20 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 20 × 1e-9
Force(Petanewtons) = 2e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 MN is equal to 2e-8 PT.
The force is 2e-8 PT, in petanewtons.
2
Consider a strong earthquake generating a force of 15 meganewtons on buildings. Convert this force from meganewtons to Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of earthquake generating on buildings in meganewtons is:
Force(Meganewtons) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert force from meganewtons to petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Meganewtons) × 1e-9
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of earthquake generating on buildings, Force(Meganewtons) = 15 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 15 × 1e-9
Force(Petanewtons) = 1.5e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 MN is equal to 1.5e-8 PT.
The force of earthquake generating on buildings is 1.5e-8 PT, in petanewtons.
Meganewtons
A meganewton (MN) is 106 newtons. It’s commonly used in fields like aerospace engineering to describe the force exerted by rockets or the loads in large structures. Meganeutons are an appropriate unit for expressing massive forces that exceed the capacity of kilonewtons.
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.
