What are Kilonewton-square-Meter and Ton-force-short-square-Inch

Definition of Kilonewton-square-Meter

A kilonewton-square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure, stress, or tensile strength. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilonewton of force applied over an area of one square meter. This unit is widely used in engineering and physics to express magnitudes of force per unit area, particularly in materials testing and structural analysis.

Definition of Ton-force-short-square-Inch

A ton-force short square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure based on the avoirdupois system, commonly used in the United States. It represents the pressure exerted by one short ton-force (2000 pounds-force) on an area of one square inch. This unit is frequently applied in fields like material science and engineering when dealing with stress, pressure, or strength measurements in non-metric systems.
