NCIt definition : The kilonewton per centimeter squared is an SI derived unit of pressure; one newton
is computed as the force necessary to accelerate a mass of one gram at the rate of
one centimeter per second squared. One kilonewton per centimeter squared is descriptive
of the amount of force exerted in a particular area. This measurement is frequently
used when describing conditions of cellular movement.;
