Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
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.
