Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
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.
