What are Hectopascal and Ton-force

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure measurement that is equivalent to 100 pascals. It is commonly used in meteorology to express barometric pressures. The prefix 'hecto-' stands for 100, hence a hectopascal represents 100 times the force per unit area than that of a pascal.

A ton-force, specifically a long ton-force, is a unit of force that is defined as exactly 2,240 pounds-force. It is a British measurement and not commonly used in the metric system. A ton-force represents the amount of force needed to move a long ton, which is a weight measurement historically used in the UK.
