What are Hectopascal and Pound-force_per_square_foot

Definition of Hectopascal

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one hundred pascals. It is widely used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, indicating the force per unit area exerted by the atmosphere. One hPa is equal to the pressure exerted by a 1-centimeter-high column of mercury at the Earth's surface.

Definition of Pound-force_per_square_foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It represents the force of one pound exerted on an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British gravitational system, expressing how the force imparted by gravity affects objects at the Earth's surface.
