What does inch-pound (in*lbf) represent?

Inch-pound is a unit of energy or torque defined as one pound-force applied through a one-inch distance, commonly used in US customary engineering.

What is an attojoule (aJ)?

An attojoule is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules, used for expressing extremely small energy quantities at atomic and molecular scales.

Why convert inch-pound to attojoule?

Converting allows expressing mechanical energy or torque values in a highly precise unit suitable for nanoscale and quantum energy measurements.
