What is a hectonewton?

A hectonewton is an SI-derived unit of force equal to 100 newtons, often used for moderate forces in engineering and laboratory settings.

When would I use exanewtons?

Exanewtons are used to describe extremely large forces, such as gravitational forces between stars or forces in high-energy astrophysics.

How do I convert hectonewtons to exanewtons?

Multiply the value in hectonewtons by 1e-16 to obtain the equivalent force in exanewtons.
