What are Psi and Kilonewton square Meter

Definition of Psi

PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used to quantify the force applied over a square inch area. One PSI equals the pressure resulting from a one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Definition of Kilonewton square Meter

A kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as one kilonewton of force applied over an area of one square meter. This unit is widely used in engineering and construction.
