Examples
1
Consider a biological cell experiencing 200 piconewtons of force. Convert this force from piconewtons to Centinewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of biological cell in piconewtons is:
Force(Piconewtons) = 200
Formula:
The formula to convert force from piconewtons to centinewtons is:
Force(Centinewtons) = Force(Piconewtons) × 1e-10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of biological cell, Force(Piconewtons) = 200 in the above formula.
Force(Centinewtons) = 200 × 1e-10
Force(Centinewtons) = 2e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 200 pN is equal to 2e-8 cN.
The force of biological cell is 2e-8 cN, in centinewtons.
2
Consider a microscopic device applying 150 piconewtons of force. Convert this force from piconewtons to Centinewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of microscopic device in piconewtons is:
Force(Piconewtons) = 150
Formula:
The formula to convert force from piconewtons to centinewtons is:
Force(Centinewtons) = Force(Piconewtons) × 1e-10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight of microscopic device, Force(Piconewtons) = 150 in the above formula.
Force(Centinewtons) = 150 × 1e-10
Force(Centinewtons) = 1.5e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 150 pN is equal to 1.5e-8 cN.
The force of microscopic device is 1.5e-8 cN, in centinewtons.
Piconewtons
A piconewton (pN) is one-trillionth of a newton. It’s often used in biophysics to measure forces within cells or the binding strength between molecules, providing a unit that’s suitable for describing the tiny interactions within biological systems.
Centinewtons
A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.
