What are Dekapascal and Pound-force per square foot

A Dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten Pascals, the SI derived unit of pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and tensile strength. It's named after Blaise Pascal, a prominent French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. One Dekapascal equals approximately 0.0145038 pounds-force per square foot (psf), making it a vital unit in various scientific and engineering applications.

A Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure where one pound-force is applied to an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British imperial and United States customary systems of units. It is widely used in the United States for measuring the pressure of fluids, wind, and depth of certain materials.
