What is the Formula to convert Petanewtons to Kilogram-Force?

The formula to convert given force from Petanewtons to Kilogram-Force is:

Force(Kilogram-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1.0197162129779e+14

Substitute the given value of force in petanewtons, i.e., Force(Petanewtons) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in kilogram-force, i.e., Force(Kilogram-Force).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider a planet exerting a force of 10 petanewtons on its moon.
Convert this force from petanewtons to Kilogram-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of planet in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert force from petanewtons to kilogram-force is:

Force(Kilogram-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1.0197162129779e+14

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of planet, Force(Petanewtons) = 10 in the above formula.

Force(Kilogram-Force) = 10 × 1.0197162129779e+14

Force(Kilogram-Force) = 1019716212977900

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 PT is equal to 1019716212977900 kgf.

The force of planet is 1019716212977900 kgf, in kilogram-force.

2

Consider the energy needed for interstellar travel requiring a force of 0.8 petanewtons.
Convert this force from petanewtons to Kilogram-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of interstellar vehicle required in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8

Formula:

The formula to convert force from petanewtons to kilogram-force is:

Force(Kilogram-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1.0197162129779e+14

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of interstellar vehicle required, Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8 in the above formula.

Force(Kilogram-Force) = 0.8 × 1.0197162129779e+14

Force(Kilogram-Force) = 81577297038232

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.8 PT is equal to 81577297038232 kgf.

The force of interstellar vehicle required is 81577297038232 kgf, in kilogram-force.

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.

Kilogram-Force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
