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:

  
  

• 
  

  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:

  
  

Thus, joule per centimeter expresses a larger force equivalent compared to joule per meter.

Ton-Force (Short)

The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.

• 
  

  A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).

  
  
• 
  

  The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.

  Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.
