What are Torr and Gram-force/sq.cm

A 'Torr' is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). It's a non-SI unit that is accepted for use with the International System of Units and is used in vacuum measurements.

A 'Gram-force per square centimeter' is a unit of pressure where a force of one gram is applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit expresses the pressure exerted by the gravitational force of a gram mass on a one-centimeter square area, providing a measure of pressure in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system.
