What is a kilopond meter?

A kilopond meter is a legacy unit of work or energy equal to the work done by a force of one kilogram-force applied over one meter displacement, equivalent to exactly 9.80665 joules.

What does an attojoule measure?

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

Why convert kilopond meters to attojoules?

This conversion translates historical mechanical energy data into units suitable for atomic and nanoscale scientific analysis, bridging older engineering records with advanced research fields.
