If you refer to:
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html
You will see that a Pascal is derived from one Newton over one square
meter (N/m^2).
Now, in your question, you have values in MPa that you wish to convert
to nN/mm^2. First, write out the units by expanding the prefixes:
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html
So, you have:
MPa = 10^6 Pa = 10^6 N/m^2
continuing on, let's convert the N to mN:
10^6 N/m^2 = (10^6) * (10^3) mN/m^2
now, convert the m^2 to mm^2:
(10^6) * (10^3) mN/(m * m) = (10^6) * (10^3) mN / ( (10^3) mm * (10^3) mm)
= (10^3) * (10^3) * (10^3) mN / ((10^3) * (10^3) mm^2
= (10^3) mN/mm^2
Which is the long way of explaining how 1 MPa is equal to 1000
mN/mm^2. So, if you have for example 0.1013 MPa, that is equal to
101.3 mN/mm^2.
I hope that this helps you. You can also confirm this by using an
