What are Petapascal and Poundal

A Petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to 10^15 pascals. It represents a very high pressure level and is commonly used in scientific contexts where extreme pressure measurements are required.

A Poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. It is not as commonly used as the Newton in the International System of Units (SI).
