What is the Formula to convert Piconewtons to Newtons?

The formula to convert given force from Piconewtons to Newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Piconewtons) × 1e-12

Substitute the given value of force in piconewtons, i.e., Force(Piconewtons) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in newtons, i.e., Force(Newtons).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider a biological cell experiencing 200 piconewtons of force.
Convert this force from piconewtons to Newtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of biological cell in piconewtons is:

Force(Piconewtons) = 200

Formula:

The formula to convert force from piconewtons to newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Piconewtons) × 1e-12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of biological cell, Force(Piconewtons) = 200 in the above formula.

Force(Newtons) = 200 × 1e-12

Force(Newtons) = 2e-10

Final Answer:

Therefore, 200 pN is equal to 2e-10 N.

The force of biological cell is 2e-10 N, in newtons.

2

Consider a microscopic device applying 150 piconewtons of force.
Convert this force from piconewtons to Newtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of microscopic device in piconewtons is:

Force(Piconewtons) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert force from piconewtons to newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Piconewtons) × 1e-12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of microscopic device, Force(Piconewtons) = 150 in the above formula.

Force(Newtons) = 150 × 1e-12

Force(Newtons) = 1.5e-10

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 pN is equal to 1.5e-10 N.

The force of microscopic device is 1.5e-10 N, in newtons.

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.

Newtons

A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.
