Giganewton [GN]

Giganewton is a large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 giganewton (GN) equals $10^{9}$ newtons.
This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.

Joule per Centimeter [J/cm]

Joule per centimeter is a unit of energy per unit length.

It measures how much energy is distributed or transferred over each centimeter.
Since 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter, joule per centimeter is related to joule per meter by:

1 \text{ J/cm} = 100 \text{ J/m}

Like joule per meter, this unit is used to describe energy density along a line, such as tension in a wire or energy stored per unit length in materials.
Also, it can relate to force, since:

1 \text{ J/m} = 1 \text{ N} \implies 1 \text{ J/cm} = 100 \text{ N}

Thus, joule per centimeter expresses a larger force equivalent compared to joule per meter.
