Piconewton to nanonewton converter (pN to nN)

Conversion Formula

1 pN = 0.001000 nN

Step-by-Step Explanation

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

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pN to nN:

5 pN × 0.001000 = 0.005000 nN
