What are Kilopascal and NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one thousand pascals. A pascal is one newton of force applied over an area of one square meter. The kilopascal is commonly used in engineering and science to measure small amounts of pressure, such as the pressure exerted by a light object or the stress within materials.

Definition of NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It represents the force of one newton applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit is often used in fields like material science and engineering to describe the stress or pressure exerted on a surface or within a structure.

Conversion of Kilopascal to NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

1 kPa = 0.01 N/cm²
1 N/cm² = 100 kPa

Example 1:
Convert 15 kPa to N/cm²:
15 kPa = 15 × 0.01 N/cm² = 0.15 N/cm²

Example 2:
Convert 100 kPa to N/cm²:
100 kPa = 100 × 0.01 N/cm² = 1 N/cm²
