What does 1 pascal represent in pressure terms?

One pascal is the pressure resulting from one newton of force applied evenly over a square meter.

Where is pound-force per square foot mainly used?

It is commonly used in US customary engineering to specify surface loads and pressures on structures.

Can I use this conversion for dynamic pressure calculations?

This tool is designed for static pressures and surface stresses; dynamic scenarios may need additional methods.
