What are Kilogram-force per square centimeter and Inch of mercury

Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit is widely used in engineering and physics to measure stress, tensile strength, and material resistance.

Definition of Inch of mercury

Inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement used primarily in aviation and meteorology. It denotes the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 0°C (32°F) at gravity's standard acceleration. It's a critical unit for barometric pressure, indicating weather patterns and altitude.
