Converting from Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

What is Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It represents force per unit area, where 1 N/cm² is equal to the pressure exerted by one newton acting on a one square centimeter area.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound Per Square Foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and construction. It represents the force exerted by one pound on a one square foot area.
