Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the force of one Newton exerted over an area of one square centimeter. In the International System of Units (SI), pressure is expressed in pascals, and 1 N/cm² equals 10,000 pascals. This unit measures the amount of force distribution over a small area and is commonly used in various scientific and engineering fields.
Definition of PetapascalA Petapascal (PPa) is an exceedingly large unit of pressure measurement in the metric system, equal to 10^15 pascals. It represents a quadrillion pascals and is used in scientific contexts where extremely high pressures are discussed, such as in the fields of geophysics and material science. Petapascals are rarely used for everyday applications due to their magnitude, but they are essential for theoretical and practical understanding of extreme pressure conditions.
| N/cm² | PPa |
|---|---|
| 1 N/cm² | 1e-10 PPa |
| 10 N/cm² | 1e-9 PPa |
| 100 N/cm² | 1e-8 PPa |
| 1,000 N/cm² | 1e-7 PPa |
| 10,000 N/cm² | 1e-6 PPa |
| 100,000 N/cm² | 1e-5 PPa |
| 1,000,000 N/cm² | 1e-4 PPa |
| 10,000,000 N/cm² | 1e-3 PPa |
| 100,000,000 N/cm² | 1e-2 PPa |
| 1,000,000,000 N/cm² | 1e-1 PPa |
1 N/cm² = 1e-10 PPa
1 PPa = 1e+10 N/cm²
Example 1:
convert 50 N/cm² to PPa:
50 N/cm² = 50 × 1e-10 PPa = 5e-9 PPa
Example 2:
convert 250 N/cm² to PPa:
250 N/cm² = 250 × 1e-10 PPa = 2.5e-8 PPa
The Newton per square centimeter to Petapascal converter has its roots in the need to translate between different scales of pressure measurement. Initially used by scientists and engineers, the converter now serves various industries, providing a quick and accurate way to switch between these two units of pressure, reflecting the evolving demands for high-precision conversion tools in technical fields.
Explore the practical applications of converting N/cm² to PPa in various real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 2 N/cm² to PPa:
2 N/cm² = 2 × 1e-10 PPa = 2e-10 PPa
Example 2:
To convert 500 N/cm² to PPa:
500 N/cm² = 500 × 1e-10 PPa = 5e-8 PPa
