What are Kilopascal and Inch

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one thousand pascals. Pressure represents the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area, and the pascal measures this as newtons per square meter. Kilopascals are commonly used in various scientific and engineering contexts, including meteorology, material science, and mechanical engineering.

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters. Historically, an inch was also considered the equivalent of the width of a person's thumb. Today, inches are widely used in the United States, and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom and Canada, for many everyday measurements.
