Joules per Meter
Joule per meter (J/m) is a unit that represents energy per unit length. It is often used in the context of surface tension, where it describes the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid.
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.
