About these units

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.

Dekanewtons

A dekanewton (daN) represents 10 newtons of force. It is a convenient unit for representing forces in contexts where newtons are too small, but kilonewtons are too large. Dekanewtons are occasionally used in mechanical and engineering applications.
