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.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
