What are Gram-force square Centimeter and Kilonewton square Meter

Definition of Gram-force square Centimeter

A gram-force square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force of one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit is a way to quantify pressure based on the weight of grams and the area in square centimeters, commonly used in fields like materials science and engineering.

Definition of Kilonewton square Meter

A kilonewton square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilonewton exerted over an area of one square meter. This large-scale unit is predominantly used in fields such as civil engineering, construction, and materials testing to describe stresses, loads, and surface pressure.
