Piconewton to giganewton converter (pN to GN)

Conversion Formula

1 pN = 1.00e-21 GN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Piconewton = 1.00e-12 newtons
   1 Giganewton = 1,000,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pN = (1.00e-12 N) / (1,000,000,000 N/GN) = 1.00e-21 GN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pN by 1.00e-21 to get the equivalent in GN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pN to GN:

5 pN × 1.00e-21 = 5.00e-21 GN
