What are Megapascal and Pound-force per square foot

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure within the metric system, equivalent to one million pascals. It's commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and pressure stresses of materials. One MPa represents the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter.

Definition of Pound-force per square foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It measures the force exerted in pounds on one square foot of an area. This unit is often applied in construction, aviation, and meteorology to assess wind loads on structures, aircraft performance, and atmospheric pressure readings.
