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 J/cm=100 J/m1 \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 J/m=1 N    1 J/cm=100 N1 \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.


Kilogram-Force [kgf]


Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 kgf=1 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 N1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.



Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.
