What are Hectopascal and NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure, equivalent to 100 pascals, the standard SI unit of pressure. It is widely used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, reflecting the force exerted by the atmosphere at a specific point.

Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a derived unit of pressure in the metric system. It represents the force of one Newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.

History of Hectopascal and NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

A brief history of the transition from using the hectopascal to the Newton per square centimeter as a unit of pressure reflects the evolution of scientific understanding and the need for precision in various fields such as meteorology and engineering.

Solved Examples hPa to N/cm²

Example 1: To convert 1013 hPa (average sea-level atmospheric pressure) to N/cm²:
1013 hPa = 1013 × 0.001 N/cm² = 1.013 N/cm²

Example 2: To convert 1520 hPa (pressure inside a steam boiler) to N/cm²:
1520 hPa = 1520 × 0.001 N/cm² = 1.52 N/cm²
