Certain linear objects, termed physical lines, are considered, and initial assumptions concerning their properties are introduced. A closed physical line in the form of a circle, termed J-string, is singled out for investigation. It is shown that this curve consists of indivisible line segments of length ℓΔ. It is assumed that a J-string has an angular momentum whose value is ℏ.It is then established that a J-string of radius R possesses a mass mJ, equal to h/2πc R, a corresponding energy, as well as a charge qJ, where qJ = (hc/2π)1/2. It is also established that ℓΔ= 2π(hG/c3)1/2, where c is the speed of light and G is the gravitational constant. % Based upon investigation of the properties and characteristics of J-strings, a method is developed for the computation of the Planck length and mass (ℓ^*P, m^*P). The values of ℓ^*P and m^*P are computed according to the resulting formulae (and given in the paper); these values differ from the currently accepted ones.
