What are Megapascal and Poundal square Foot

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 describe the strength of materials, particularly tensile and yield strength.

Definition of Poundal square Foot

Poundal per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system. It represents the pressure exerted by one poundal acting on an area of one square foot.
