Petanewton (PN) Unit Definition
The petanewton is a multiple of the unit newton (N) for force. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix peta (P) as a factor of 1015 or 1000000000000000. Per this definition, one petanewton is 1015 newtons. The petanewton is represented by the symbol PN.
