What are Kilogram-force per square centimeter and Hectopascal

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It represents the amount of kilogram-force exerted on one square centimeter of area. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to measure pressure exerted by forces in a confined space. The concept is derived from the gravitational force applied by a kilogram mass at the Earth's surface, distributed over a square centimeter area.

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 pascals. It is a standard unit used in meteorology and for atmospheric pressure measurements. The term 'hecto' signifies a factor of one hundred, making one hectopascal equivalent to 100 newtons per square meter. The hectopascal is recognized for its close approximation to the millibar, a unit traditionally used in meteorology.

History of Kilogram-force per square centimeter and Hectopascal
