Ton-Force (Long) [tonf (UK)]

The long ton-force (also called the UK ton-force) is a unit of force based on the long ton, traditionally used in the United Kingdom.

• 
  

  A long ton equals 2,240 pounds (lbs).

  
  
• 
  

  The long ton-force is the force exerted by a long ton mass under standard gravity.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  It is used in engineering and industries where the long ton is the standard measure of mass.

  
  
• 
  

  This unit is larger than the short ton-force and differs from the metric ton-force.

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:

  
  

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