Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
Joule/meter
The joule per meter (J/m) is a unit of energy per unit length, commonly used to measure energy distribution along a distance.
History/Origin
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, defined in 1948, and the meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. The combination J/m has been used in physics and engineering to quantify energy density or energy per unit length, especially in fields like mechanics and material science.
Current Use
J/m is used today to express energy per unit length in applications such as work done per unit length, energy density in cables, and in force-related calculations involving energy distribution along a line.
