  2. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar , and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to ...

  3. SI derived unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_derived_unit

    SI derived units are units of measurement derived from the seven SI base units specified by the International System of Units (SI). They can be expressed as a product (or ratio) of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation (see: Buckingham π theorem).

  4. Rayl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayl

    The MKS unit of specific acoustic impedance is the pascal-second per meter, [7] and is often called the rayl (MKS: 1 Rayl = 1 Pa·s·m −1). The MKS unit and the CGS unit confusingly have the same name, but are not the same quantity (or unit):

  5. Vapor pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure

    The International System of Units (SI) recognizes pressure as a derived unit with the dimension of force per area and designates the pascal (Pa) as its standard unit. [1] One pascal is one newton per square meter (N·m −2 or kg·m −1 ·s −2). Experimental measurement of vapor pressure is a simple procedure for common pressures between 1 ...

  6. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N/m 2, or kg·m −1 ·s −2). This name for the unit was added in 1971; [6] before that, pressure in SI was expressed in newtons per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (lbf/in 2) and bar, are also in common use.

  8. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    Stress has dimension of force per area, with SI units of newtons per square meter (N/m 2) or pascal (Pa). [ 1 ] Stress expresses the internal forces that neighbouring particles of a continuous material exert on each other, while strain is the measure of the relative deformation of the material. [ 3 ]

  9. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    The SI unit of dynamic viscosity is the newton-second per square meter (N·s/m 2), also frequently expressed in the equivalent forms pascal-second (Pa·s), kilogram per meter per second (kg·m −1 ·s −1) and poiseuille (Pl). The CGS unit is the poise (P, or g·cm −1 ·s −1 = 0.1 Pa·s), [28] named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille.
