About these units

Petanewtons

A petanewton (PT) is equal to 1015 newtons. It’s an extremely large unit of force, mostly theoretical, used in astrophysics or high-energy physics to describe forces acting at a massive scale, such as between planets or in star formation.

Joules per Centimeter

Joule per centimeter (J/cm) is similar to joule per meter but is used when a finer unit of measurement is needed. It is also used to describe surface energy and tension in materials science.
