N/cm
newton per centimeter
Spring constantexact by definition
The newton per centimetre is exactly 100 newtons per metre, an exact decimal relation. It is a convenient scale for small mechanical springs, where a rate in N/m runs to inconveniently large numbers for a spring that compresses a few centimetres under a modest load.
