What are Megapascal and Kilogram-force per square meter

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one million pascals. It's widely used in material science and engineering to express the tensile and compressive strength of materials. One MPa represents the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter.

Definition of Kilogram-force per square meter

Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square meter. This unit is often used in fields like engineering and material science to measure stress, pressure, or tensile strength.
