What are Kilopascal and Gram-force

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure that is part of the metric system. It is equivalent to one thousand pascals, where a pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. The term 'kilo' denotes a factor of a thousand, signifying that one kilopascal represents a thousand times the pressure exerted by one pascal. It is commonly used in various scientific and engineering contexts, including meteorology, material science, and engineering to measure stress, Young's modulus, tensile strength, and atmospheric pressure.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force is a unit of force that is not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass under the standard acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface, which is 9.80665 meters per second squared. Therefore, one gram-force is equivalent to 9.80665 millinewtons. This unit is commonly used in physics and engineering to measure force, tension, and weight, particularly in regions or fields where the metric system is prevalent.
