What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Millimeter of water at 4 degrees Celsius

Definition of Gram-force per square centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one gram acting on a surface area of one square centimeter. This unit quantifies the amount of force distributed over a specific area and is commonly used in fields such as materials science and engineering.

Definition of Millimeter of water at 4 degrees Celsius

A millimeter of water at 4 degrees Celsius (mmH2O) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a one millimeter high column of water at 4 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature at which water reaches its maximum density. This measurement is often used in hydrostatics and engineering.
