Joule : J : kg·m²·s^-2 :   the derived SI derived unit of work or energy.

Equal to the work done by a force of 1 newton acting through a distance of one meter.

1 J = 1 N·m = 1 kg·m²·s^-2 = 1 W·s = 10⁷ ergs

---

joule per cubic metre : J/m³ :   energy density.

---

joule per kilogram : J/kg :   specific energy.
