What are Newton square Meter and Gigapascal

Definition of Newton square Meter

A Newton per square meter (N/m²), also known as a Pascal, is the SI derived unit of pressure. It represents the force of one Newton applied uniformly over an area of one square meter. In other words, it measures how much force is exerted on a square meter of surface area.

Definition of Gigapascal

A Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion Pascals. It's commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the stiffness or tensile strength of materials, such as the elastic modulus of steel or the compressive strength of concrete.

Newton square Meter (N/m²) Gigapascal (GPa)
1 N/m² 1e-9 GPa
10 N/m² 1e-8 GPa
100 N/m² 1e-7 GPa
1,000 N/m² 1e-6 GPa
10,000 N/m² 1e-5 GPa
100,000 N/m² 1e-4 GPa
1,000,000 N/m² 1e-3 GPa
10,000,000 N/m² 1e-2 GPa
100,000,000 N/m² 1e-1 GPa
1,000,000,000 N/m² 1 GPa

Conversion of Newton square Meter to Gigapascal

1 N/m² = 1e-9 GPa
1 GPa = 1e9 N/m²

Example 1:
Convert 500 N/m² to GPa:
500 N/m² = 500 × 1e-9 GPa = 5e-7 GPa

Example 2:
Convert 2,000,000 N/m² to GPa:
2,000,000 N/m² = 2,000,000 × 1e-9 GPa = 0.002 GPa

History of Newton square Meter and Gigapascal

The concept of converting Newton per square meter to Gigapascals is rooted in the need to express pressure in units that reflect the magnitude relevant to the context. Though N/m² is the base unit for pressure, GPa is often used for higher intensities common in material science and engineering.
