Joule per Meter [J/m]

Joule per meter is a unit that represents energy per unit length.

• 
  

  Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy.

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as joule per meter (J/m), it describes how much energy is distributed or transferred along each meter of length.

  
  
• 
  

  Commonly used in contexts such as:

  
  
  • 
    

    Energy density along a line (e.g., tension in a string or energy stored per unit length in materials).

    
    
  • 
    

    Describing work done per meter traveled.

    
    
  
  
• 
  

  It can also relate to forces when considering energy changes over distance:

  
  

This means joule per meter can be equivalent to a newton, representing force.

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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.
