About Femtojoules
A femtojoule (fJ) is 10⁻¹⁵ J - the scale of gamma-ray photons, molecular motor work, and state-of-the-art digital logic. The electron rest-mass energy is 81.87 fJ; a 100 keV X-ray photon carries 16.02 fJ. A single myosin II motor protein power stroke dissipates ~5-40 fJ. ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions yields ~80-100 fJ of free energy. Advanced 3 nm CMOS gates switch at ~0.1-1 fJ per operation. Ultrafast fiber laser oscillators produce pulses of 0.1-10 fJ before amplification. 1 fJ = 10⁻¹⁵ J = 6.242 keV.
About Inch-Pound-Force
An inch-pound-force (in·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one inch - exactly 0.11298482902761670 J (= 1/12 ft·lbf). It is the dominant torque unit for small fasteners and precision instruments in the US: a #6-32 screw in aluminium is torqued to 4-6 in·lbf; a dental implant abutment screw to ~25-30 Ncm (2.2-2.7 in·lbf). Hobby servo motor torque is quoted in oz·in (1 in·lbf = 16 oz·in). Bicycle stem bolts are typically 4-6 Nm (35-53 in·lbf). 1 in·lbf = 0.11298 J = 1/12 ft·lbf = 11.298 Ncm.
