Megapascal

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10⁶ pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The megapascal is commonly used in engineering and materials science to measure high pressures.

Origin:

The term "megapascal" combines the SI prefix "mega-", representing 10⁶, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "mega-" comes from the Greek word μέγας (mégas), meaning "great" or "large," and was adopted in 1960 to denote 10⁶, or one million. The megapascal is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts where pressures are high.

Gram-Force/Square Centimeter

The gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It quantifies force per unit area and is commonly used in various scientific and engineering contexts. Mathematically: 1 gf/cm² = 98.0665 N/m² = 98.0665 Pa.

Origin:

The unit is derived from the gram-force (gf), a unit of force in the metric system, and the square centimeter (cm²), a unit of area. The gram-force per square centimeter is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.
