Libgdx - PPM world conversion

Question

My sprite moves too slowly. Basically I want to apply less force to move my player. Current this:

getBody().applyForceToCenter(new Vector2(-10000000f,0f), true);

is the force needed to make it move a tiny bit.

I know the reason why I am not able to move it is since I haven't scaled the sprite (64x64) it weights more than 400kg. What should be the correct scale?

This is my game screen.

public class GameScreen implements Screen {
//Reference to our Game, used to set Screens
private Logang game;

//basic playscreen variables
private OrthographicCamera gamecam;
private Viewport gamePort;
//Box2d variables
private World world;
private Box2DDebugRenderer b2dr;

boolean drawn = true;
private Player p;
private int pX = 100, pY = 300;

public GameScreen(Logang game) {

    this.game = game;
    //create cam used to follow mario through cam world
    gamecam = new OrthographicCamera();
    gamePort = new ScalingViewport(Scaling.stretch, Logang.GWIDTH, Logang.GHEIGHT, gamecam);
    gamePort.apply();
    gamecam.position.set(gamecam.viewportWidth / 2, gamecam.viewportHeight / 2, 0);
    gamecam.update();
    Box2D.init();
    //create our Box2D world, setting no gravity in X, -10 gravity in Y, and allow bodies to sleep
    world = new World(new Vector2(0, Logang.GRAVITY), true);
    //allows for debug lines of our box2d world.
    b2dr = new Box2DDebugRenderer();

    //create a FitViewport to maintain virtual aspect ratio despite screen size

    p = new Player(new Sprite(new Texture("hud_p3.png")), world, pX, pY, 1);

    //initially set our gamcam to be centered correctly at the start of of map

    line();
}


@Override
public void show() {

}

public void update(float dt) {
    //handle user input first
    p.update(dt);
    //update our gamecam with correct coordinates after changes
}


@Override
public void render(float delta) {
    //separate our update logic from render
    update(delta);

    //Clear the game screen with Black
    Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
    Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    world.step(1f / 60f, 6, 2);

    gamecam.position.set(p.getSprite().getX(),Logang.GHEIGHT / 2, 0); // x and y could be changed by Keyboard input for example

    gamecam.update();

    game.getBatch().setProjectionMatrix(gamecam.combined);

    //renderer our Box2DDebugLines
    b2dr.render(world, gamecam.combined);

    System.out.println("Player x: " + p.getSprite().getX() + " Camera X: " + gamecam.position.x + " Body X: " + p.getBody().getPosition().x);
    //System.out.println("Player y: " + p.getSprite().getY() + " Camera Y: " + gamecam.position.y + " Body Y: " + p.getBody().getPosition().y);


    game.getBatch().begin();


    if (p.getBody() != null)
        p.render(game.getBatch());

    EntityManager.renderTerra(game.getBatch(), delta);


    game.getBatch().end();

}

public void line() {
    Texture tmp = new Texture("hud_p3.png");
    tmp.setWrap(Texture.TextureWrap.MirroredRepeat, Texture.TextureWrap.MirroredRepeat);
    for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
        EntityManager.add(new Ground(new Sprite(tmp), world, (int)(i * Logang.TILE), 1, 2));
    }
   // EntityManager.changeSize(((Logang.TILE) * 5),Logang.TILE);
}

@Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
    //updated our game viewport
    gamePort.update(width, height);
    gamecam.position.set(gamecam.viewportWidth / 2, gamecam.viewportHeight / 2, 0);
}

public World getWorld() {
    return world;
}

@Override
public void pause() {

}

@Override
public void resume() {

}

@Override
public void hide() {

}

@Override
public void dispose() {
    world.dispose();
    b2dr.dispose();
}

And this is my entity class

private World world;
private Sprite sprite;
private Body body;
private int tipo;

public Entity(Sprite sprite, World world, int x, int y, int tipo) {
this.sprite = sprite;
this.world = world;
getSprite().setPosition(x, y);
sprite.setSize(Logang.TILE, Logang.TILE);
sprite.setOriginCenter();
define(tipo);
this.tipo = tipo;
}

public void update(float dt){
if(Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.LEFT)){
    getBody().applyForceToCenter(new Vector2(-10000000f,0f), true);
}
if(Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.RIGHT)){
    getBody().applyForceToCenter(new Vector2(10000000f,0f), true);
}
if(Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.SPACE)){
    //getBody().applyLinearImpulse(0f,-Logang.GRAVITY, 
getBody().getPosition().x, getBody().getPosition().y, true);
     }
}

public void define(int tipo) {
BodyDef bdef = new BodyDef();
bdef.position.set((getSprite().getX() + getSprite().getWidth() / 2), 
(getSprite().getY() + getSprite().getHeight() / 2));
switch (tipo) {
    case 1: {
        bdef.type = BodyDef.BodyType.DynamicBody;
        break;
    }
    case 2: {
        bdef.type = BodyDef.BodyType.StaticBody;
        break;
    }
    case 3: {
        bdef.type = BodyDef.BodyType.DynamicBody;
        break;
    }

}

body = world.createBody(bdef);

FixtureDef fdef = new FixtureDef();
fdef.density=0.001f; // (weight: range 0.01 to 1 is good)
PolygonShape shape = new PolygonShape();
shape.setAsBox(getSprite().getWidth() / 2, getSprite().getHeight() / 2);

fdef.shape = shape;
body.createFixture(fdef);
body.setUserData(this);

shape.dispose();
}

public void render(SpriteBatch batch) {
if (tipo != 2) {
    float posX = getBody().getPosition().x;
    float posY = getBody().getPosition().y;

        getSprite().setPosition(posX - getSprite().getWidth() / 2, posY - 
getSprite().getHeight() / 2);

    }
    getSprite().draw(batch);
}

public Sprite getSprite() {
    return sprite;
}

public void setSprite(Sprite sprite) {
    this.sprite = sprite;
}

public Body getBody() {
    return body;
}

public void setBody(Body body) {
    this.body = body;
}

And this are the in game variables

public static final int GWIDTH = 800;
public static final int GHEIGHT = (GWIDTH/16)*9;
public static final float PPM = 100f;
public static final float GRAVITY = -10f;
public static final float TILE = 64;

Could you please give me a fix? I already tried to divide body and gamecam position still no effect
