What are Kilonewton per square Meter and Torr

A kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure, also known as a unit of stress. One kN/m² is equivalent to the force of one kilonewton being applied to an area of one square meter. It is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI), widely used in engineering, construction, and physics to measure the intensity of various forces over a specified area.

The Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is exactly defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which equates approximately to the pressure exerted by a millimeter column of mercury (mmHg). The Torr is not an SI unit but is widely used in vacuum measurements and barometric pressure readings.
