Newton/square Centimeter
The newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of force, the newton, combined with the centimeter as a unit of area. It has been used in fields like engineering and physics to measure pressure, especially in contexts where the centimeter is a convenient unit of length. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m².
Current Use
The N/cm² is still used in certain engineering and industrial applications, particularly in contexts where pressure measurements are expressed in centimeters rather than meters. It is also used in some scientific fields for convenience, though the pascal is more common internationally.
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 The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.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.
