What does one kilonewton per square meter represent?

It represents a pressure equal to one kilonewton of force applied to an area of one square meter, equivalent to 1,000 pascals.

When is the exapascal unit typically used?

Exapascal is used to express extremely large pressures in contexts like astrophysics, neutron star studies, and high-energy physics.

Why might the converted values be very small decimals?

Because the exapascal unit is vastly larger than kilonewton per square meter, resulting in very small fractional equivalents.
