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.

Femtonewton [fN]

Femtonewton is an ultra-small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 femtonewton (fN) equals $10^{-15}$ newtons (0.000000000000001 newton).
It is used in cutting-edge research fields like atomic physics, nanotechnology, and quantum mechanics to measure incredibly tiny forces.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ fN} = 0.000000000000001 \text{ N}

Femtonewtons enable precise measurement of forces at atomic and subatomic levels where minute interactions occur.
