What are Dekapascal and NewtonPerSquareCentimeter

A Dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten Pascals. It is part of the metric system and is commonly used in fields like meteorology, geophysics, and engineering to measure low levels of pressure. One Dekapascal is roughly equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 10-gram mass resting on a one-square-centimeter area.

A Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure that represents the force of one Newton applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit is particularly relevant in material science and engineering, where it is used to quantify the stress or load applied to materials for testing their strength and resistance.
