Ounce-Force [ozf]
Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.
It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:
1 ozf=161 lbf≈0.278 newtons
Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.
It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.
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 aN=0.000000000000000001 N
Attonewtons allow scientists to quantify forces at the tiniest scales imaginable, beyond typical atomic interactions.
