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.

Ton-Force (Short)

The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.

A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).
The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ short ton-force} = 2,000 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 8,896.44 \text{ newtons}

It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.
Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.
