Dyne [dyn]

The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.

• 
  

  Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.

  
  
• 
  

  For comparison:

  
  

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.

Joule per Meter [J/m]

Joule per meter is a unit that represents energy per unit length.

• 
  

  Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy.

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as joule per meter (J/m), it describes how much energy is distributed or transferred along each meter of length.

  
  
• 
  

  Commonly used in contexts such as:

  
  
  • 
    

    Energy density along a line (e.g., tension in a string or energy stored per unit length in materials).

    
    
  • 
    

    Describing work done per meter traveled.

    
    
  
  
• 
  

  It can also relate to forces when considering energy changes over distance:

  
  

This means joule per meter can be equivalent to a newton, representing force.
