Piconewton [pN]

Piconewton is a very tiny unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 piconewton (pN) equals $10^{-12}$ newtons (0.000000000001 newton).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used in molecular biology, biophysics, and nanotechnology to measure forces at the molecular or atomic scale.

  
  
• 
  

  To put it in perspective:

  
  

Piconewtons allow scientists to quantify incredibly small forces, such as those involved in DNA stretching or molecular interactions.

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.
