"Pascal (unit) The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square metre. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal. 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 one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as . Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in millibars. The unit is"

In the International System of Units (SI), the unit is the pascal (Pa) (or a multiple thereof, often megapascals (MPa), using the SI prefix ""mega""); or, equivalently to pascals, newtons per square metre (N/m²). A United States customary unit is pounds per square inch (lb/in² or psi), or kilo-pounds per square inch (ksi, or sometimes kpsi), which is equal to 1000 psi; kilo-pounds per square inch are commonly used in one country (US), when measuring tensile strengths.

"Pressure is distributed to solid boundaries or across arbitrary sections of fluid ""normal to"" these boundaries or sections at every point. It is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics, and it is conjugate to volume. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N/m, or kg·m·s). This name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed simply in newtons per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch and bar, are also in common use. The CGS unit of pressure is the barye"
"by means of multiplication and exponentiation of other units but not multiplied by any scaling factor other than 1, the pascal is a coherent unit of pressure (defined as kg⋅m⋅s), but the bar (defined as ) is not. Note that coherence of a given unit depends on the definition of the base units. Should the meter's definition change such that it is shorter by a factor of , then the bar would be a coherent derived unit. However, a coherent unit remains coherent (and a non-coherent unit remains non-coherent) if the base units are redefined in terms of other units"

Since 1960 the CGPM has made a number of changes to the SI to meet the needs of specific fields, notably chemistry and radiometry. These are mostly additions to the list of named derived units, and include the ""mole"" (symbol mol) for an amount of substance, the ""pascal"" (symbol Pa) for pressure, the ""siemens"" (symbol S) for electrical conductance, the ""becquerel"" (symbol Bq) for ""activity referred to a radionuclide"","
"pressure of 1 atmosphere submerged to a depth of 10 atmospheres (98 metres; a 9.8 metre column of seawater has the equivalent weight of 1 atm) is effectively a vacuum chamber keeping out the crushing exterior water pressures, though the 1 atm inside the submarine would not normally be considered a vacuum. Therefore, to properly understand the following discussions of vacuum measurement, it is important that the reader assumes the relative measurements are being done on Earth at sea level, at exactly 1 atmosphere of ambient atmospheric pressure. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (symbol Pa), but vacuum"

The gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s). The milligal (mGal) and microgal (µGal) refer respectively to one thousandth and one millionth of a gal. The gal is not part of the International System of Units (known by its French-language initials ""SI"").

The constants formula_6 and formula_8 are determined experimentally and found to be roughly constant over a restricted range of formula_7 for any given gas. For example, air with an formula_7 in the range of 450 to 7500 V/(kPa·cm), formula_6 = 112.50 (kPa·cm) and formula_8 = 2737.50 V/(kPa·cm). The graph of"

The SI unit of modulus is the pascal (Pa). A higher modulus typically indicates that the material is harder to deform. The second type of parameter measures the ""elastic limit"", the maximum stress that can arise in a material before the onset of permanent deformation. Its SI unit is also pascal (Pa).

It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation). The analogous unit in the International System of Units is the pascal-second (Pa⋅s): The poise is often used with the metric prefix ""centi-"" because the viscosity of water at 20 °C (NTP) is almost exactly 1 centipoise. A centipoise is one hundredth of a poise, or one millipascal-second (mPa⋅s) in SI units (1 cP = 10 Pa⋅s = 1 mPa⋅s). The CGS symbol for the centipoise is cP."

For example, air at sea level, and saturated with water vapor at 20 °C, has partial pressures of about 2.3 kPa of water, 78 kPa of nitrogen, 21 kPa of oxygen and 0.9 kPa of argon, totaling 102.2 kPa, making the basis for standard atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure is measured in the standard units of pressure.

However, as real stresses and strains do not occur uniaxially, considerations for multiaxial stresses must be added to this relationship to model real stresses. This stress is called the tensile stress because every part of the object is subjected to tension. The SI unit of stress is the newton per square meter, which is called the pascal. 1 pascal = 1 Pa = 1 N/m Now consider a force that is applied tangentially to an object.

The purpose of his experiment is to prove that the source of vacuum comes from atmospheric pressure. The experiment uses a simple barometer to measure the pressure of air, filling it with mercury up until 75% of the tube. Any air bubbles in the tube must be removed by inverting several times. After that, a clean mercury is filled once"

In fields such as meteorology and underwater diving, it is common to see ambient pressure expressed in bar or millibar. One bar is 100 kPa or approximately ambient pressure at sea level. Ambient pressure may in"
"Pascal's calculator Pascal's calculator (also known as the arithmetic machine or Pascaline) is a mechanical calculator invented by Blaise Pascal in the early 17th century. Pascal was led to develop a calculator by the laborious arithmetical calculations required by his father's work as supervisor of taxes in Rouen. He designed the machine to add and subtract two numbers directly and to perform multiplication and division through repeated addition or subtraction. Pascal's calculator was especially successful in the design of its carry mechanism, which adds 1 to 9 on one dial, and when it changes from 9 to 0, carries 1"
"Pascal's constants Pascals’ constants are numbers used in the evaluation of the magnetic susceptibilities of coordination compounds. The magnetic susceptibility of a compound is the sum of the paramagnetic susceptibility associated with the unpaired electrons and the opposing diamagnetic susceptibility associated with electron pairs. Typically, the paramagnetic susceptibility greatly exceeds in magnitude the diamagnetic susceptibility. Thus, the diamagnetic correction is not considered for many purposes. For more precise analyses, however, the diamagnetic corrections are calculated by summing the contributions from the components of the molecule. These group contributions are Pascal’s constants. This analysis assumes that these group contributions are identical"

The factor ""g""′(10) in the chain rule is the velocity of the skydiver ten seconds after his jump, and it is expressed in meters per second.
