Attonewton [aN]


Attonewton is an extraordinarily small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 attonewton (aN) equals 101810^{-18} newtons (0.000000000000000001 newton).



  • It is used in highly specialized fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and advanced experimental research where forces are incredibly minute.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 aN=0.000000000000000001 N1 \text{ aN} = 0.000000000000000001 \text{ N}

Attonewtons allow scientists to quantify forces at the tiniest scales imaginable, beyond typical atomic interactions.


Dyne [dyn]


The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.



  • Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 dyn=1 g×1 cm/s2=105 newtons1 \text{ dyn} = 1 \text{ g} \times 1 \text{ cm/s}^2 = 10^{-5} \text{ newtons}

  • The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.



  • For comparison:



1 N=105 dyn1 \text{ N} = 10^{5} \text{ dyn}

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.
