The conversion results are calculated using precise formulas to ensure accuracy for most practical purposes.

Attonewton [aN]

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

1 attonewton (aN) equals $10^{-18}$ 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 \text{ aN} = 0.000000000000000001 \text{ N}

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

Pound-Force [lbf]

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and some other countries using the Imperial system.

It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one pound (lb) under standard Earth gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ lbf} = 1 \text{ lb} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 4.44822 \text{ newtons}

Pound-force is widely used in engineering, mechanics, and everyday contexts in countries that use Imperial or US customary units.
It measures force similarly to how newtons do in the metric system but based on pounds instead of kilograms.
