What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Terapascal

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm^2) 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. It's a part of the metric system, predominantly used in engineering and related fields to measure stress, Young's modulus, and tensile strength.

Definition of Terapascal

A Terapascal (TP) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one trillion pascals. It represents an extremely high-pressure value and is commonly utilized in scientific research to describe the internal pressure within the Earth or in materials science under extreme conditions.
