What does one femtonewton represent?

One femtonewton is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newton, used to measure very small forces at the molecular and nanoscale level.

What is a ton-force (long)?

Ton-force (long) is the force equivalent to the weight of one long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity, commonly used in older British industrial measurements.

Why convert femtonewton to ton-force (long)?

This conversion helps link precise nanoscale forces to historical imperial units commonly found in legacy engineering and naval documents.
