What is an attonewton?

An attonewton is an SI force unit equal to 10⁻¹⁸ newtons, used to express very small forces like those between atoms or in ultra-sensitive force measurements.

What does pound foot per square second measure?

It is a force unit in the foot–pound–second system representing the force needed to accelerate one pound mass at one foot per second squared, also known as the poundal.

Why convert attonewtons to pound foot/square second?

Converting these units helps integrate ultra-small SI force data with older imperial unit systems used in some educational, experimental, or engineering contexts.
