What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Psi

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram-force (gf) on an area of one square centimeter. Essentially, it measures how much force is applied over a specific area. This unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units and is commonly used in physics and engineering to quantify very small pressures.

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It measures the force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. The unit is derived from the avoirdupois system, where one pound-force is applied to an area of one square inch. Psi is widely used in various industries, including automotive, aviation, and industrial manufacturing to measure tire pressure, engine performance, and the strength of materials.
