What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Megapascal

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is based on the gravitational force exerted by a kilogram mass, commonly used in some fields of engineering and science.

Definition of Megapascal

Megapascal (MPa) is a metric unit for pressure or stress. It is equivalent to one million pascals or one newton of force applied to one square meter. MPa is a widely accepted unit in engineering, material science, and physics to express high pressure or stress levels.
