What are Megapascal and Gram-force

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one million pascals. It is widely used in materials science and engineering to express tensile strength, Young's modulus, and other forms of pressure and stress.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force, or gram-weight, is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on one gram of mass under standard gravity conditions. One gram-force is equal to 9.80665 millinewtons.
