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.


Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]


This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).



  • It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.



  • It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.



  • In basic terms:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s2=force×distance÷time21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 = \text{force} \times \text{distance} \div \text{time}^2

  • Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s21.35582 N\cdotpm/s21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 \approx 1.35582 \text{ N·m/s}^2

  • Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
