Convert newtons to joule per centimeter
Joule per centimeter
The joule per centimeter (J/cm) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons, since one joule per centimeter represents the energy of one joule transferred over a displacement of one centimetre. It is dimensionally equivalent to force (energy divided by length) and can be used to express large forces compactly. This unit appears occasionally in engineering and materials science when force-displacement relationships are analysed using CGS-scaled lengths. It is not an SI base or named derived unit, but follows directly from SI dimensional analysis.
