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.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
