What are Newton per square centimeter and centimeter mercury

Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force of one newton applied to an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is part of the metric system and is widely used in scientific contexts to describe pressures relative to atmospheric pressure. It is particularly useful in fields such as physics and engineering where understanding the force exerted over a specific area is crucial.

Centimeter of mercury (cmHg) at 0 degrees Celsius is a unit of pressure measurement that represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one centimeter high at 0 degrees Celsius. It is commonly used in meteorology and medicine, particularly in blood pressure measurements, and reflects the historic use of mercury in barometers where atmospheric pressure was indicated by the height of a mercury column.

History of Newton per square centimeter and centimeter mercury

A brief history of the conversion between Newton per square centimeter and Centimeter Mercury at 0 degrees Celsius dates back to the use of mercury barometers. Scientists sought a reliable method to relate force per unit area to the height of a mercury column, leading to the creation of conversion factors for these distinct units of pressure.
