What are Pound-force square Foot and Gram-force sq. Centimeter

Pound-force per square foot (lbf/ft²) is a unit of pressure or stress. It is defined as the force in pounds exerted on an area of one square foot. One pound-force per square foot is equivalent to 47.8803 pascals. It's not a widely used unit outside of the United States and is often replaced by the more common pressure unit, the psi (pound-force per square inch).

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure where one gram-force is applied to an area of one square centimeter. The gf/cm² unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used in some contexts. One gram-force is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²) on Earth.
