About these units

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.

Hectonewtons

A hectonewton (hN) is equal to 100 newtons. It’s a relatively uncommon unit of force but can be useful when dealing with intermediate-scale forces that fall between kilonewtons and newtons. It might be used in measuring the force applied by certain mechanical devices.
