Hectonewton
hN
Definition
A hectonewton equals 100 Newtons and represents a moderate force unit used in engineering applications. This unit is employed for describing forces in mechanical systems, automotive applications, and industrial equipment.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was established as part of the metric system's decimal prefix system. The prefix "hecto" (meaning 100) was adopted in 1960. This unit provides a convenient way to express forces in the hundreds of Newtons range.
Current Use
Used in mechanical engineering for measuring forces in machinery and equipment. Common in automotive applications for measuring forces in engines and braking systems. Used in industrial applications where forces are measured in the hundreds of Newtons range.

Joule/centimeter
J/cm
Definition
Joule per centimeter is a unit of force derived from the relationship between energy and distance. It represents the force required to do one joule of work over one centimeter of distance. This unit is equivalent to 0.01 Newtons and is used in physics calculations.
History/Origin
Joule per centimeter emerged from the fundamental relationship between work, force, and distance in physics. Since work equals force times distance (W = F × d), force can be expressed as work divided by distance. This unit provides an alternative way to express force in terms of energy.
Current Use
Used in physics calculations where forces are derived from energy considerations. Common in thermodynamics and mechanical engineering where forces are calculated from energy changes. Used in some engineering applications where the relationship between energy and force is important.
