What does joule per meter represent?

Joule per meter (J/m) represents force as an energy gradient, numerically equal to one newton, indicating energy change per unit displacement.

How is joule per centimeter related to force?

Joule per centimeter (J/cm) is a measurement of energy per length and mechanically equivalent to force, where 1 J/cm equals 100 newtons.

Why convert from J/m to J/cm?

Converting from J/m to J/cm adjusts the unit scale to express forces or energy gradients more suitably for applications requiring measurements per centimeter displacement.
