Units explained

Metric / SI

Attogram

What is a attogram?

An attogram (ag) equals 10^-21 kilogram.

Origin of the attogram

From the SI prefix 'atto-' (from Danish 'atten', eighteen).

Where it is used

Frontier nanoscience and single-molecule mass detection.

When and where it was developed

The atto- prefix was adopted by the CGPM in 1975.

Force / Engineering

Kilogram-force square second/meter

What is a kilogram-force square second/meter?

The kilogram-force second-squared per meter (the hyl or TME) is about 9.807 kg.

Origin of the kilogram-force square second/meter

The mass unit of the metric gravitational (technical) system.

Where it is used

Older continental European engineering practice.

When and where it was developed

Used in the metric technical system before SI adoption.

Attogram to Kilogram-force square second/meter conversion formula

The relationship between attograms and kilogram-force square second/meters:

1 ag = 1.019716e-22 hyl
1 hyl = 9.80665e+21 ag

To convert attograms to kilogram-force square second/meters, multiply the value in attograms by 1.019716e-22. To reverse, multiply kilogram-force square second/meters by 9.80665e+21.

Step-by-step: convert attograms to kilogram-force square second/meters

  1. Write down the value in attograms (ag).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1.019716e-22.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in kilogram-force square second/meters (hyl).
  4. To reverse, multiply the kilogram-force square second/meter value by 9.80665e+21.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 ag to hyl:
1 × 1.019716e-22 = 1.019716e-22 hyl

Example 2 — Convert 100 ag to hyl:
100 × 1.019716e-22 = 1.019716e-20 hyl

Real-world example — From sub-micron to human scale

One billion attograms equals one kilogram-force square second/meter — the conversion that drives home the gulf between atomic-scale features and everyday objects in physics curricula.

1e+9 ag × 1.019716e-22 = 1.019716e-13 hyl

Real-world example — Bridging nine orders of magnitude

500 million attograms equals a value comfortably in the human-scale kilogram-force square second/meters range. Physics problems that span this gap are common when comparing the wavelength of light to the path length of an experiment.

5e+8 ag × 1.019716e-22 = 5.098581e-14 hyl
