What is an attonewton?

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

What is ounce-force used for?

Ounce-force measures small mechanical forces such as those from springs, switches, and is used in legacy weight and force measurements.

Can this conversion be used for scientific measurements?

While useful for translating measurements, ounce-force is non-SI and should be used cautiously in strict scientific contexts.
