What does one newton/square centimeter represent?

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

When is terapascal used?

Terapascal is used for quantifying extremely large pressures, such as those in planetary interiors, shock compression experiments, and high-pressure physics research.

Can I convert newton/square centimeter to terapascal directly?

Yes, this tool provides direct conversion using the rate: 1 newton/square centimeter equals 1e-8 terapascal.
