What does one newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equal to one pascal, representing force applied per unit area.

Where is ksi commonly used?

Ksi is often used in structural and materials engineering to express yield and tensile strength.

Can I mix ksi with SI units directly?

Mixing ksi with SI units requires care because ksi is a non-SI unit and might cause errors if combined improperly.
