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:

1 \text{ J/m} = 1 \text{ N} \quad (\text{since } 1 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ J/m})

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

Petanewton [PN]

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

1 petanewton (PN) equals $10^{15}$ newtons.
It represents forces much larger than those encountered in everyday life or typical engineering but smaller than exanewtons.
Such forces might be relevant in astrophysics, like the force between massive celestial bodies.
