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:

  
  

• 
  

  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:

  
  

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

Dekane wton [daN]

Dekane wton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 dekane wton (daN) equals $10^{1}$ newtons (10 newtons).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used in engineering and physics to express moderate forces conveniently.

  
  
• 
  

  To put it in perspective:

  
  

Dekane wtons are useful when measuring forces greater than newtons but smaller than hectonewtons.
