Piconewton to millinewton converter (pN to mN)

Conversion Formula

1 pN = 1.00e-9 mN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Piconewton = 1.00e-12 newtons
   1 Millinewton = 0.001000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pN = (1.00e-12 N) / (0.001000 N/mN) = 1.00e-9 mN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pN by 1.00e-9 to get the equivalent in mN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pN to mN:

5 pN × 1.00e-9 = 5.00e-9 mN
