What is an attonewton used to measure?

An attonewton quantifies extremely small forces at atomic and sub-atomic scales, often used in ultra-sensitive force measurement setups.

Why convert attonewtons to decinewtons?

Converting attonewtons to decinewtons helps translate atomic-scale forces into a practical unit for engineering and small mechanical force measurements.

Are attonewtons and decinewtons used in the same fields?

Attonewtons are used for ultra-sensitive, atomic-level forces, while decinewtons apply to relatively small but macroscopic forces in engineering and labs.
