What is a terapoise used for?

A terapoise measures extremely large dynamic viscosity values, often used in geophysics and materials science for highly viscous substances.

How does newton second per square meter relate to pascal-second?

One newton second per square meter is equivalent to one pascal-second, the SI unit for dynamic viscosity.

Why convert terapoise to newton second per square meter?

Converting to newton second per square meter places viscosity values in the standard SI unit, which is essential for common scientific and engineering calculations.
