Megapascal (abbreviations: Mpa, or MN/m2, or N/mm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one meganewton per square meter or one newton per square millimeter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
Tonne Per Meter Cube (abbreviations: t/m2, or tpm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of tonne per meter cube.
How to Convert Megapascals to Tonnes Per Meters Cube
Example: How many tonnes per meters cube are equivalent to 17.18 megapascals?
As;
1 megapascals = 100 tonnes per meters cube
17.18 megapascals = Y tonnes per meters cube
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 17.18 times 100 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 17.18 * 100 / 1 = 1718 tonnes per meters cube
Answer is: 1718 tonnes per meters cube are equivalent to 17.18 megapascals.
