Petanewton
A petanewton (PT) is a unit of force equal to 10^15 newtons, used for measuring extremely large forces.
History/Origin
The petanewton was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to facilitate the expression of very large forces, although it is rarely used in practical applications due to the scale of forces involved.
Current Use
The petanewton is primarily used in scientific contexts involving large-scale forces, such as astrophysics and cosmology, but remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
Exanewton
An exanewton (EN) is a unit of force equal to 10^18 newtons.
History/Origin
The exanewton was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent extremely large forces, following the adoption of the SI system and its prefixes in the 20th century.
Current Use
The exanewton is primarily used in theoretical physics and large-scale engineering contexts where extremely large forces are involved, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its size.
