Examples
1
Consider a planet exerting a force of 10 petanewtons on its moon. Convert this force from petanewtons to Kilonewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of planet in petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert force from petanewtons to kilonewtons is:
Force(Kilonewtons) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1e+12
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of planet, Force(Petanewtons) = 10 in the above formula.
Force(Kilonewtons) = 10 × 1e+12
Force(Kilonewtons) = 10000000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 PT is equal to 10000000000000 kN.
The force of planet is 10000000000000 kN, in kilonewtons.
2
Consider the energy needed for interstellar travel requiring a force of 0.8 petanewtons. Convert this force from petanewtons to Kilonewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of interstellar vehicle required in petanewtons is:
Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8
Formula:
The formula to convert force from petanewtons to kilonewtons is:
Force(Kilonewtons) = Force(Petanewtons) × 1e+12
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of interstellar vehicle required, Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8 in the above formula.
Force(Kilonewtons) = 0.8 × 1e+12
Force(Kilonewtons) = 800000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 0.8 PT is equal to 800000000000 kN.
The force of interstellar vehicle required is 800000000000 kN, in 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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Petanewtons to Kilonewtons in Force?
The formula to convert Petanewtons to Kilonewtons in Force is:
Petanewtons * 1e+12
2. Is this tool free or paid?
This Force conversion tool, which converts Petanewtons to Kilonewtons, is completely free to use.
3. How do I convert Force from Petanewtons to Kilonewtons?
To convert Force from Petanewtons to Kilonewtons, you can use the following formula:
Petanewtons * 1e+12
For example, if you have a value in Petanewtons, you substitute that value in place of Petanewtons in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Kilonewtons.
