About these units

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.

Hectonewtons

A hectonewton (hN) is equal to 100 newtons. It’s a relatively uncommon unit of force but can be useful when dealing with intermediate-scale forces that fall between kilonewtons and newtons. It might be used in measuring the force applied by certain mechanical devices.
