  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 ...

    The SI has special names for 22 of these coherent derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m 2), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m 3 or kgm −3), the SI derived unit of density.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force_per_square...

    A newton is equal to 1 kgm/s 2, and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 N, [3] meaning that 1 kgf/cm 2 equals 98.0665 kilopascals (kPa). In some older publications, kilogram-force per square centimetre is abbreviated ksc instead of kg/cm 2.

  8. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A newton is defined as 1 kgm/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

    In the top right box on this page, it says kg/m^2, which doesn't make much sense... I'm almost 100% sure it's newtons/m^2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.185.253.215 17:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC) It actually says "kg / (m·s^2)". I.e., the denominator is "metres times seconds squared", not "metres squared". N / m^2 is also correct, and ...
