What does joule per centimeter represent in force measurement?

Joule per centimeter measures energy per unit length, which corresponds to force in mechanics because 1 joule equals 1 newton-meter, making 1 J/cm equivalent to 100 newtons.

When would I use exanewton as a force unit?

Exanewton is suitable for expressing extremely large forces such as those found in astrophysical events, including gravitational forces between massive celestial bodies or large-scale impact simulations.

Is this converter useful for everyday engineering force calculations?

Due to the vast difference in scales between joule/centimeter and exanewton, this conversion is more applicable for theoretical comparisons rather than routine engineering uses.
