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.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
