Decinewton
A decinewton (dN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The decinewton was introduced as a metric unit of force, derived from the newton, to facilitate measurements in smaller force ranges. It is part of the decimal metric system and is used primarily in scientific and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Decinewtons are used in physics and engineering to measure forces that are conveniently expressed in multiples of ten newtons, especially in contexts where precise force measurements are needed without using larger units like kilonewtons.
Joule/meter
The joule per meter (J/m) is a unit of energy per unit length, commonly used to measure energy distribution along a distance.
History/Origin
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, defined in 1948, and the meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. The combination J/m has been used in physics and engineering to quantify energy density or energy per unit length, especially in fields like mechanics and material science.
Current Use
J/m is used today to express energy per unit length in applications such as work done per unit length, energy density in cables, and in force-related calculations involving energy distribution along a line.
