What does Joule per centimeter represent in this conversion?

Joule per centimeter represents energy per unit length, which in mechanical terms corresponds to force because 1 J equals 1 N·m.

What is Ton-force (short) used for?

Ton-force (short) is a US customary unit used to rate loads such as presses, cranes, hoists, and large masses in engineering and shipping.

Can this conversion be used outside the US customary system?

Ton-force (short) is specific to US customary units and may not be directly applicable in SI or other measurement systems.
