Convert attojoule to gram-force meter
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to gram-force meter [gf*m], or Convert gram-force meter to attojoule.
1 aJ = 1.0197e-16 gf*m. To convert attojoule to gram-force meter, multiply the value by 1.0197e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gf*m = 9.8066e+15 aJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aJ = 1.0197e-16 gf*m
- 1 gf*m = 9.8066e+15 aJ
- 10 aJ = 1.0197e-15 gf*m
- 100 aJ = 1.0197e-14 gf*m

Attojoule
An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules.
History/Origin
The attojoule was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of energy, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and quantum physics, as the need to quantify very tiny energy scales grew.
Current Use
The attojoule is used in scientific research to measure minute energy quantities, such as in nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular biology, where energies involved are extremely small.
Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
