Micronewton
A micronewton (µN) is a unit of force equal to one millionth of a newton, the SI base unit of force.
History/Origin
The micronewton was introduced as a submultiple of the newton to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, as part of the SI system standardization.
Current Use
Micronewtons are used in precision measurements in physics, engineering, and scientific research where very small forces need to be quantified accurately.
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.
