What is a newton/square centimeter?

A unit of pressure defined as one newton of force applied uniformly over one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. foot commonly used?

It is commonly used in civil engineering, industrial floor load assessments, and heavy machinery where customary units are preferred.

Can this conversion be used in hydraulic system design?

Yes, it is suitable for translating pressure values in compact hydraulic or pneumatic components where area units differ.
