What is the pascal unit used for?

Pascal measures pressure and mechanical stress in fluids and solids, commonly used in meteorology, engineering, and physics.

Why convert pascal to newton/square centimeter?

Converting allows pressure values to be expressed in units suited for small areas typical in lab tests and compact mechanical parts.

Is newton per square centimeter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI derived unit equivalent to 10,000 pascals, used primarily in specific engineering and laboratory settings.
