Convert petanewton to newton

Petanewton

The petanewton (PN) is a unit of force equal to 10¹⁵ newtons, formed by applying the SI peta- prefix to the newton. It is used in planetary science and geophysics to describe tectonic forces and large-scale gravitational interactions. One petanewton equals 10¹⁵ newtons.

Newton

The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. One newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Roughly the weight of a small (100 g) apple under standard gravity, it is the base unit used throughout physics and engineering to express force, weight and thrust.
