What are Bar and Gram-force

Definition of Bar

A bar is a metric unit of pressure, not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 pascals (Pa). This unit is commonly used in meteorology, oceanography, and geology, and is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force is a unit of force that is not part of the SI system of units. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the surface of the Earth. This force is equivalent to 9.80665 millinewtons (mN), which is the standard acceleration due to gravity.
