What are Micropascal and Gram-force

A micropascal (µPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system and is equivalent to one millionth of a pascal. The pascal, named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, is the SI derived unit of pressure and represents the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter. The micropascal is used for measuring very small pressure differences, such as those in scientific research.

Gram-force is a unit of force, not an official SI unit, and is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in Earth's gravitational field. It is equivalent to the force that accelerates a one gram mass by 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to gravity. This unit is often used in the context of surface tension and material strength.
