What are Gram-force sq. Centimeter and Inch Mercury

Definition of Gram-force sq. Centimeter

A gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a one gram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is commonly used in physics and engineering to measure stresses in materials or the pressure of fluids in a variety of applications.

Definition of Inch Mercury

Inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement used primarily in aviation and meteorology. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one inch in height at the standard acceleration of gravity. Its use is prevalent in weather reports and aircraft altitude settings in the United States.
