Joule/centimeter
The joule per centimeter (J/cm) is a unit of energy density or energy per unit length, representing the amount of energy (joules) contained or transferred per centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of energy, the joule, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length. It has been used in contexts such as material science and physics to measure energy distribution over small distances.
Current Use
J/cm is used in fields like material testing, physics, and engineering to quantify energy density, especially in applications involving thin films, coatings, or localized energy measurements.
Ton-Force (Metric)
Ton-force (metric), symbol: tf, is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
History/Origin
The ton-force originated from the need to quantify large forces in engineering and industrial contexts, particularly in the measurement of engine and machinery forces, and has been used in various forms since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Ton-force (metric) is primarily used in engineering, physics, and industrial applications to express large forces, especially in contexts involving heavy machinery, structural analysis, and force calculations within the 'Force' converter category.
