Go to the Martin website (second link I posted). https://www.martinguitar.com/strings/
Select strings
Select the Authentic Acoustic SP string package (2nd one on page. White w blue label)
Page down for the string tension chart.
These are Phosphor Bronze strings.

Thx. Wonder why they don’t make light/medium in 80/20?

Elixir website has extensive information on tension for their sets and individual strings. Somewhere out there exists a site that will calculate the tension based on 25.5 inch scale. Just enter the string info. If I remember correctly, it can be adapted to different scale lengths. I don't have the site URL, but a good search should discover it. I found the Elixir site more useful.

About halfway down the page, there is a tab to switch from "String gauges and part numbers" to "String Tension for Tuning."
