What does one newton per square centimeter represent?

It represents one newton of force evenly distributed over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

When should I use picopascal units?

Picopascal is used to express extremely low pressures such as those in advanced vacuum technology or space environments.

Is this conversion useful for everyday pressure measurements?

No, because the scale difference is very large, this conversion is mostly relevant for scientific and technical applications.
