What does 1 newton/square centimeter represent?

It is a pressure unit equal to one newton of force applied over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

When should femtopascal be used?

Femtopascal is used for expressing ultra-low pressures, such as those in interstellar space or in extreme ultra-high vacuum experiments.

Why is this conversion important?

It allows translating pressures measured in everyday or engineering contexts into ultra-fine units needed for precise scientific measurements.
