Exanewton: A Unit of Force
An exanewton (symbol: ExN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that represents a substantial magnitude. It is defined as 1018 newtons, highlighting its position within the metric system as a measurement for forces comparable to massive objects or significant physical interactions. The newton itself is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared, making the exanewton a unit suited for astronomical or large-scale engineering applications.
For instance, the force exerted by large celestial bodies, such as stars or planets, can be expressed in exanewtons, facilitating the study of gravitational interactions in astrophysics. As humanity continues to explore space and develop advanced engineering technologies, the relevance of exanewtons will likely increase, allowing for a better understanding of forces on a grand scale.
