What does one newton/square centimeter represent?

It represents the pressure from one newton force applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

Why is millimeter mercury (0°C) used in pressure measurements?

Millimeter mercury (0°C) corresponds to the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius under standard gravity, widely used in clinical and laboratory settings.

Can this conversion be used for blood pressure readings?

Yes, converting from newton/square centimeter to millimeter mercury (0°C) translates engineering pressure values into units commonly used in clinical blood pressure measurements.
