What are Atmosphere and Pound-force

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (at) is a unit of pressure defined as being equal to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 76 cm high at 0°C under standard gravity. It is also equivalent to 101,325 pascals or 1.01325 bar.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared, equivalent to 4.44822 newtons.
