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.


Teranewton [TN]


Teranewton is a large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.
