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.
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.
