What are Foot-pound and Attojoule

A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the engineering and gravitational systems. It is the work done by a force of one pound-force acting over a distance of one foot, in the direction of the force. It is equivalent to 1.3558179483314004 joules.

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules. It is a very small unit used primarily in the field of particle physics, where energies involved are often at the quantum scale. The attojoule is part of the metric system and is derived from the basic unit of energy, the joule.
