What are Petapascal and Dynecentimeter

Definition of Petapascal

A Petapascal is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) Pascals. It represents an extremely high pressure that is seldom encountered in everyday situations but can occur in scientific studies involving intense forces.

Definition of Dynecentimeter

A Dyne per Square Centimeter is a CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of pressure. One dyne per square centimeter equates to the pressure exerted by a force of one dyne acting over an area of one square centimeter.
