What are Torr and Kilonewton

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale. Defined as 1/760th of a standard atmosphere, it approximately equals to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at 0 degrees Celsius. The unit honors the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, inventor of the barometer.

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1,000 newtons, the SI base unit of force. The newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
