What does 1 newton/square centimeter represent?

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

Why is the torr used for pressure measurement?

The torr measures low pressures and vacuums, defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, useful in scientific and industrial vacuum contexts.

Can the newton/square centimeter to torr conversion handle very high pressures accurately?

While the conversion can be done, very high pressures produce large torr values that may be less practical to use.
