How to Convert Gram per Centimeter per Second to Newton Second per Square Meter

Conversion Formula

1 g/(cm·s) = 0.1 N·s/m²
1 N·s/m² = 10 g/(cm·s)

Example

Convert 15 g/(cm·s) to N·s/m²:

15 g/(cm·s) = 15 × 0.1 N·s/m² = 1.5 N·s/m²

Gram per Centimeter per Second

g/(cm·s)

Definition

The gram per centimeter per second is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one dyne per square centimeter is applied.

History/Origin

This unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, which was widely used in physics and chemistry before the adoption of the SI system. It provides a smaller base unit for viscosity measurements.

Current Use

Still used in some scientific contexts, particularly in older literature and certain specialized fields. It is particularly useful for measuring the viscosity of very thin fluids and gases.

Newton Second per Square Meter

N·s/m²

Definition

The newton second per square meter is equivalent to the pascal second, representing the dynamic viscosity of a fluid when a force of one newton per square meter produces a velocity gradient of one meter per second per meter.

History/Origin

This unit is directly derived from the fundamental SI units of force (newton) and area (square meter). It provides an alternative expression for the pascal second using base SI units.

Current Use

Used in scientific and engineering contexts where it is more convenient to express viscosity in terms of force and area rather than pressure. It is mathematically equivalent to the pascal second.
