pN a nN convertidor - Piconewton a Nanonewton

Conversion derivation

Express both pN and nN in the same base unit N (newton), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite pN in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{pN}=1\times 10^{-12}\mathrm{N}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite nN in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{nN}=1\times 10^{-9}\mathrm{N}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{pN}& =\frac{1\times 10^{-12}\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1\times 10^{-9}\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{nN}\\ & =\frac{1\times 10^{-12}}{1\times 10^{-9}}\mathrm{nN}\\ & =0.001\mathrm{nN}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{nN}& =\frac{1\times 10^{-9}\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1\times 10^{-12}\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{pN}\\ & =\frac{1\times 10^{-9}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\mathrm{pN}\\ & =1,000\mathrm{pN}\end{array}$$
