The SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square metre. It is named after Blaise Pascal.
Mathematics
The SI unit of pressure, abbreviated to ‘Pa’. One pascal is equal to one newton per square metre.
Astronomy
A unit of pressure equal to a pressure of one newton per square metre. One pascal equals 10−5 bar. Hence, the Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 105 pascal. It is named after the French mathematician and theologian Blaise Pascal (1623–62).
Chemistry
The SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square metre. It is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623–62).
Chemical Engineering
The SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square metre. It is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–62). Standard atmospheric pressure is equal to 101 325 Pa.
Biology
The SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square metre.
Geology and Earth Sciences
1. (Pa) The derived SI unit of pressure, equal to 1 N/m2.
2. A high-level computer programming language. Both are named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623–62).
