What are Megapascal and Foot

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one million pascals, the SI derived unit of pressure named after Blaise Pascal. One megapascal corresponds to approximately 145.038 pounds per square inch (psi), showcasing its significant use in industrial and scientific fields for measuring high-pressure values.

A foot (ft) is a unit of length in the customary system of measurement used primarily in the United States. It is equivalent to 12 inches or 1/3 of a yard. Historically, it was based on the human foot's length and has been standardized to precisely 30.48 centimeters. The foot is widely used in architecture, aviation, and many other industries for measuring height, length, and altitude.
