Explore the ease of converting cPa to N/cm² with Newtum's precision tool. Dive into the world of unit conversion and satisfy your curiosity with our user-friendly Centipascal to Newton square Centimeter Converter.
A centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one hundredth of a pascal. The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure and is defined as one newton per square meter. The centipascal, being a smaller unit, is often used for measuring low levels of pressure in scientific and engineering contexts.
Definition of NewtonThe newton (N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, the newton encapsulates the fundamental relationship between mass, acceleration, and force.
| Centipascal (cPa) | Newton per square Centimeter (N/cm²) |
|---|---|
| 10 cPa | 0.0001 N/cm² |
| 50 cPa | 0.0005 N/cm² |
| 100 cPa | 0.001 N/cm² |
| 500 cPa | 0.005 N/cm² |
| 1000 cPa | 0.01 N/cm² |
| 5000 cPa | 0.05 N/cm² |
| 10000 cPa | 0.1 N/cm² |
| 50000 cPa | 0.5 N/cm² |
| 100000 cPa | 1 N/cm² |
| 500000 cPa | 5 N/cm² |
1 cPa = 0.00001 N/cm²
1 N/cm² = 100000 cPa
Example 1:
Convert 200 cPa to N/cm²:
200 cPa = 200 × 0.00001 N/cm² = 0.002 N/cm²
Example 2:
Convert 1500 cPa to N/cm²:
1500 cPa = 1500 × 0.00001 N/cm² = 0.015 N/cm²
The Centipascal to Newton square Centimeter Converter has its roots in the need to standardize pressure measurements across various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics.
