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.


Newton [N]


The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.



  • It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 N=1 kgm/s21 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

  • Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.



  • Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.



Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.
