What are Petapascal and Pound-force per square Foot

Definition of Petapascal

A Petapascal is a unit of pressure equal to one quadrillion (10^15) Pascals. In the International System of Units (SI), Pascal is the unit of pressure and is defined as one Newton per square meter. Petapascal is a rarely used unit because it represents an extremely high pressure that is not commonly encountered in everyday measurements or scientific calculations.

Definition of Pound-force per square Foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure where one psf is equal to the pressure exerted by one pound-force acting on an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the imperial and US customary systems of units. It is often used in architecture, engineering, and construction industries in the United States for measuring stresses in buildings and materials.
