Discover the simplicity of converting pressure units from centipascal to dyne per square centimeter with our intuitive tool. Newtum's converter excites curiosity and delivers accurate conversions effortlessly.
A centipascal (cp) is a unit of pressure defined as one hundredth of a pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure. One centipascal equals 0.01 pascals and represents a very small amount of pressure, commonly used in scientific contexts.
Definition of Dyne per square centimeterA dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It measures the amount of force in dynes applied over one square centimeter of area. This unit is often used in physics and engineering.
| Centipascal (cp) | Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) |
|---|---|
| 1 cp | 0.1 dyn/cm² |
| 10 cp | 1 dyn/cm² |
| 20 cp | 2 dyn/cm² |
| 30 cp | 3 dyn/cm² |
| 40 cp | 4 dyn/cm² |
| 50 cp | 5 dyn/cm² |
| 60 cp | 6 dyn/cm² |
| 70 cp | 7 dyn/cm² |
| 80 cp | 8 dyn/cm² |
| 90 cp | 9 dyn/cm² |
| 100 cp | 10 dyn/cm² |
Example 1:
Convert 5 cp to dyn/cm²:
5 cp = 5 × 0.1 dyn/cm² = 0.5 dyn/cm²
Example 2:
Convert 100 cp to dyn/cm²:
100 cp = 100 × 0.1 dyn/cm² = 10 dyn/cm²
A brief history of the Centipascal to Dyne square Centimeter Converter traces back to the adoption of the metric system and the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. These tools have evolved to provide precision in scientific measurements and conversions, enabling seamless transitions between units of pressure.
