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.


Kilopond [kp]


The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard Earth gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 kp=1 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 newtons1 \text{ kp} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ newtons}

  • It is commonly used in engineering and industries, especially before the widespread adoption of the newton (SI unit).



  • The kilopond is equivalent to the kilogram-force (kgf) and is often used interchangeably.



  • Despite being non-SI, it remains popular in some regions for practical measurements of force.
