Maximum pulling force (tractive effort) of a single large diesel-electric locomotive Maximum thrust of a large turbofan engine ( General Electric GE90) The average force applied by seatbelt and airbag to a restrained passenger in a car which hits a stationary barrier at 100 km/h The estimated bite force of a large 6.7 m (22 ft) adult saltwater crocodile The estimated bite force of a 6.1 m (20 ft) adult great white shark Īpproximate force applied by the motors of a Tesla Model S during maximal acceleration

The bite force of a 5.2 m (17 ft) saltwater crocodile The bite force of one adult American alligator The maximum force achieved by weight lifters during a ' clean and jerk' lift (During the clean part) The force applied by the engine of a small car during peak acceleration One kilogram-force, nominal weight of a 1 kg (2.2 lb) object at sea level on Earth Īverage force to break the shell of a chicken egg from a young hen Īverage force of human bite, measured at molars Typical thrust of a Dual-Stage 4-Grid ion thruster. Thrust of the NSTAR ion engine tested on NASA's space probe Deep Space 1 Output of FEEP ion thrusters used in NASA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna coli bacterium averaged over 1 second įorce to stretch double-stranded DNA to 50% relative extension įorce to break a typical noncovalent bond įorce to break a typical covalent bond įorce on an electron in a hydrogen atom įorce between two 1 meter long conductors, 1 meter apart by an outdated definition of one ampere Gravitational attraction of the proton and the electron in hydrogen atom įorce necessary to synchronize the motion of a single trapped ion with an external signal measured in a 2010 experiment įorce measured in a 2010 experiment by perturbing 60 beryllium-9 ions īrownian motion force on an E. Unless otherwise stated, these are weights under average Earth gravity at sea level. Since weight under gravity is a force, several of these examples refer to the weight of various objects. The following list shows different orders of magnitude of force.
