What is an attonewton?

An attonewton (aN) is an SI unit of force equal to 10⁻¹⁸ newtons, used to measure extremely small forces at atomic and sub-atomic scales.

A kip-force (kipf) equals 1,000 pounds-force and is commonly used in U.S. structural and civil engineering to express large forces.

Why convert attonewtons to kip-force?

This conversion helps relate ultra-small forces measured in physics to large forces used in structural engineering, facilitating comparison and data transition between these fields.
