What are Gram-force sq. Centimeter and Ton-force short sq. Inch

A gram-force per square centimeter (gf·cm²) is a unit of pressure where one gram-force is applied to an area of one square centimeter. It's a metric unit that reflects the force exerted by gravity on a gram mass within a centimeter squared area. This measure is crucial in various scientific and engineering fields, particularly when dealing with small-scale pressure scenarios.

A ton-force short per square inch (tonf·in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one short ton (2000 pounds) exerted over an area of one square inch. It's widely used in the United States for large-scale industrial and engineering applications, where accurate measurement of heavy loads and pressures is essential.
