What does one newton second per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity that quantifies a fluid's internal resistance to shear, equal to one pascal-second.

Why use petapoise for measuring viscosity?

Petapoise represents extremely large viscosity values and is useful for geophysical and computational studies involving ultra-high resistance to flow.

Is this conversion practical for everyday fluid measurements?

No, because petapoise denotes very large viscosities, it is not practical for regular fluid viscosity measurements.
