What does Joule per centimeter measure in this context?

It measures energy per unit length interpreted as a force equivalent due to the relationship between energy, force, and displacement.

Why use Ounce-force instead of newtons?

Ounce-force is used to specify small forces, such as those in switches or small springs, commonly in legacy or non-SI unit contexts.

Can this conversion be used for all mechanical force calculations?

This conversion is best suited for situations involving small forces and where energy per length is converted to force; broader or complex cases may require other methods.
