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.

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.
