What does one newton per square centimeter represent?

It is a pressure unit defined as one newton of force uniformly spread over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

What is a micropascal used for?

The micropascal measures very small pressures, commonly used in acoustic pressure levels, underwater acoustics, and sensitive microphone calibrations.

Why might converting to micropascal produce large numbers?

Because micropascal quantifies extremely small pressures, converting a large mechanical pressure like newton/square centimeter results in very large numerical values.
