Examples

1

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of planet in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert force from petanewtons to poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = Force(Petanewtons) × 7.2330138512099e+15

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 10 × 7.2330138512099e+15

Force(Poundals) = 72330138512099000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 PT is equal to 72330138512099000 pdl.

The force of planet is 72330138512099000 pdl, in poundals.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of interstellar vehicle required in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8

Formula:

The formula to convert force from petanewtons to poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = Force(Petanewtons) × 7.2330138512099e+15

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 0.8 × 7.2330138512099e+15

Force(Poundals) = 5786411080967920

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.8 PT is equal to 5786411080967920 pdl.

The force of interstellar vehicle required is 5786411080967920 pdl, in poundals.

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.

Poundals

A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to about 0.138 newtons. It is used in some engineering and physics applications to measure force in non-SI units.
