Convert attojoule to poundal foot
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to poundal foot [pdl*ft], or Convert poundal foot to attojoule.
1 aJ = 2.3730e-17 pdl*ft. To convert attojoule to poundal foot, multiply the value by 2.3730e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pdl*ft = 4.2140e+16 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 = 2.3730e-17 pdl*ft
- 1 pdl*ft = 4.2140e+16 aJ
- 10 aJ = 2.3730e-16 pdl*ft
- 100 aJ = 2.3730e-15 pdl*ft

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.
Poundal Foot
The poundal foot (pdl*ft) is a unit of energy representing the work done when a force of one poundal acts over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The poundal foot originated in the foot-poundal system of units, which was used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
The poundal foot is rarely used today and has been largely replaced by the joule in scientific and engineering contexts. It may still appear in historical references or specialized fields dealing with imperial units.
