What are Pound-force per square inch and Petapascal

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the imperial and US customary systems. It quantifies the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. Widely used in various industries, psi helps in measuring pressure in tires, scuba tanks, and many mechanical and engineering settings.

A Petapascal (PPa) is an extremely large unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one quadrillion pascals. Petapascals are not commonly used in everyday measurements due to their immense magnitude, but they are utilized in scientific research to represent substantial forces, such as those found in the Earth's interior or in materials science.
