Exanewton
An exanewton (EN) is a unit of force equal to 10^18 newtons.
History/Origin
The exanewton was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent extremely large forces, following the adoption of the SI system and its prefixes in the 20th century.
Current Use
The exanewton is primarily used in theoretical physics and large-scale engineering contexts where extremely large forces are involved, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its size.
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.
