Examples
1
Consider a planet exerting a force of 10 petanewtons on its moon. Convert this force from petanewtons to Giganewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of planet in petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert force from petanewtons to giganewtons is:
Force(Giganewtons) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1e+6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of planet, Force(Petanewtons) = 10 in the above formula.
Force(Giganewtons) = 10 × 1e+6
Force(Giganewtons) = 10000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 PT is equal to 10000000 GN.
The force of planet is 10000000 GN, in giganewtons.
2
Consider the energy needed for interstellar travel requiring a force of 0.8 petanewtons. Convert this force from petanewtons to Giganewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of interstellar vehicle required in petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8
Formula:
The formula to convert force from petanewtons to giganewtons is:
Force(Giganewtons) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1e+6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of interstellar vehicle required, Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8 in the above formula.
Force(Giganewtons) = 0.8 × 1e+6
Force(Giganewtons) = 800000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 0.8 PT is equal to 800000 GN.
The force of interstellar vehicle required is 800000 GN, in giganewtons.
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.
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.
