Piconewton to metric ton-force converter (pN to tf)

Conversion Formula

1 pN = 1.02e-16 tf

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Piconewton = 1.00e-12 newtons
   1 Metric ton-force = 9,806.7 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pN = (1.00e-12 N) / (9,806.7 N/tf) = 1.02e-16 tf
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pN by 1.02e-16 to get the equivalent in tf

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pN to tf:

5 pN × 1.02e-16 = 5.10e-16 tf
