Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
Poundal/square Foot
The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The poundal is an imperial unit of force introduced in the 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second system, primarily used in engineering contexts. The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
The poundal per square foot is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the pascal (Pa) in scientific and engineering applications. It may still appear in legacy systems or specific regional engineering contexts.
