What are Pound-force per square inch and Hectopascal

Pound-force per square inch, abbreviated as psi, is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system. It quantifies the force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. One psi equals the pressure caused by a one-pound force applied to an area of one square inch, making it a critical measurement in various engineering and mechanical contexts.

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to 100 pascals. Commonly used in meteorology and for atmospheric pressure measurements, one hectopascal represents the pressure exerted by a one-newton force acting on a one-square-meter area. It's a standard unit for assessing air pressure and used in weather forecasting.

History of Pound-force per square inch and Hectopascal
