What are Kilogram-force per square centimeter and Bar

Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilogram acting on an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to express pressures within a relatively small area, allowing for precision in calculations and applications where such specificity is crucial.

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. While not an SI unit, it is widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and various engineering fields to measure pressure due to its close approximation to atmospheric pressure and convenient round number value.
