What are Kilopascal and Kilogram-force sq. Cm

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one thousand pascals. It measures force per unit area, with one kPa equalling the pressure of a one-kilogram force acting on a one-square-meter area. Used globally, it's a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure, industrial pressures, and more.

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is sometimes used in engineering and applied physics to describe tensile strength, material resistance to crushing, or in hydraulic systems.
