What are Hectopascal and Ton-force

Definition of Hectopascal

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 pascals. It is a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure and is used in meteorology. One hPa corresponds to one millibar (mb) and is equivalent to 1% of a bar. It is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, and inventor who made significant contributions to fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics.

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, or short ton-force, is a unit of force used in the United States that equals approximately 2,000 pounds-force (lbf). This unit represents the amount of force exerted by one short ton (US ton) under the influence of Earth's gravity. It is commonly used in industries such as engineering and material science to describe large force magnitudes.
