What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Kilonewton square Meter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram-force (kgf) acting on an area of one square centimeter. It is a metric unit commonly used in engineering and physics to represent pressure or stress.

A kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It measures the force of one kilonewton (1,000 newtons) applied over an area of one square meter. It's widely used in engineering, construction, and material science to express stress, pressure, or tensile strength.
