Attonewton
An attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-18 newtons.
History/Origin
The attonewton is part of the SI prefixes system, introduced to measure extremely small forces, with its usage becoming more relevant in nanotechnology and precision measurements.
Current Use
Attonewtons are used in scientific research involving microscopic forces, such as in atomic and molecular physics, and in nanotechnology applications where very small forces are measured.
Ton-Force (Metric)
Ton-force (metric), symbol: tf, is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
History/Origin
The ton-force originated from the need to quantify large forces in engineering and industrial contexts, particularly in the measurement of engine and machinery forces, and has been used in various forms since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Ton-force (metric) is primarily used in engineering, physics, and industrial applications to express large forces, especially in contexts involving heavy machinery, structural analysis, and force calculations within the 'Force' converter category.
