Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) to Kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) with Newtum's intuitive converter. Spark your curiosity and simplify your calculations!
Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the force of one Newton acting on an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is not commonly used in practice but serves as a bridge between the metric system's Pascal and the larger Kilonewton per square meter.
Definition of Kilonewton square MeterKilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a unit of pressure that represents a thousand Newtons acting over an area of one square meter. It's equivalent to 1,000 Pascals and is commonly used in engineering and construction to describe stresses within structures and materials.
| N/cm² | kN/m² |
|---|---|
| 0.01 N/cm² | 0.001 kN/m² |
| 0.1 N/cm² | 0.01 kN/m² |
| 1 N/cm² | 0.1 kN/m² |
| 10 N/cm² | 1 kN/m² |
| 20 N/cm² | 2 kN/m² |
| 50 N/cm² | 5 kN/m² |
| 100 N/cm² | 10 kN/m² |
| 200 N/cm² | 20 kN/m² |
| 500 N/cm² | 50 kN/m² |
| 1000 N/cm² | 100 kN/m² |
1 N/cm² = 0.1 kN/m²
1 kN/m² = 10 N/cm²
Example 1:
Convert 5 N/cm² to kN/m²:
5 N/cm² = 5 × 0.1 kN/m² = 0.5 kN/m²
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 N/cm² to kN/m²:
2.5 N/cm² = 2.5 × 0.1 kN/m² = 0.25 kN/m²
The conversion from Newton per square centimeter to Kilonewton per square meter has its roots in the adoption of the metric system and the need for standardized units in science and engineering. It facilitates the comparison and calculation of forces and pressures across different scales and contexts.
Learn about the practical applications of converting N/cm² to kN/m² and enhance your technical expertise.
Example 1:
To convert 15 N/cm² to kN/m²:
15 N/cm² = 15 × 0.1 kN/m² = 1.5 kN/m²
Example 2:
To convert 30 N/cm² to kN/m²:
30 N/cm² = 30 × 0.1 kN/m² = 3 kN/m²
