What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Millimeter Mercury

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in Earth's gravity on an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit, part of the centimeter-gram-second system, is widely used in engineering to measure pressures in hydraulic systems, material strength, and depth-related pressures in water.

Millimeter Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure also known as torr, representing the pressure exerted by a one millimeter high column of mercury at 0 degree Celsius. This unit historically originates from the way blood pressure was measured and is still commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and medicine, particularly in measuring blood pressure.
