What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Megapascal

Definition of Gram-force per square centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a single gram-force, or the force of gravity on a one-gram mass, applied over an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit captures the intensity with which force is distributed over a specific area, providing a measure of stress or pressure in the context of scientific and engineering calculations.

Definition of Megapascal

Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one million pascals. It is used to express very high pressures and stresses, such as those in hydraulic systems or structural engineering materials. One megapascal represents the pressure exerted by a force of one newton applied uniformly over an area of one square meter. It's a key unit in the study of material properties and strength.
