Joule/centimeter
The joule per centimeter (J/cm) is a unit of energy density or energy per unit length, representing the amount of energy (joules) contained or transferred per centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of energy, the joule, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length. It has been used in contexts such as material science and physics to measure energy distribution over small distances.
Current Use
J/cm is used in fields like material testing, physics, and engineering to quantify energy density, especially in applications involving thin films, coatings, or localized energy measurements.
Teranewton
A teranewton (TN) is a unit of force equal to one trillion newtons (10^12 N).
History/Origin
The teranewton was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to accommodate very large force measurements, following the adoption of the SI units, to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving immense forces.
Current Use
The teranewton is primarily used in scientific research and engineering fields dealing with extremely large forces, such as astrophysics, large-scale structural analysis, and high-energy physics.
