  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 ...

  4. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    But using the names kilogram, gram, kilogram-force, or gram-force (or their symbols) as units of force is deprecated in SI. The technical atmosphere (symbol: at) is 1 kgf/cm 2 (98.0665 kPa, or 14.223 psi). Pressure is related to energy density and may be expressed in units such as joules per cubic metre (J/m 3, which is equal to Pa).

  5. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Expressed in terms of SI base units, it is 1 kg⋅m/s 2, the force that accelerates a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared. The unit is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  7. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2). ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi. [4] The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa ...

  8. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    In hypersonic flow, the pressure coefficient can be accurately calculated for a vehicle using Newton's corpuscular theory of fluid motion, which is inaccurate for low-speed flow and relies on three assumptions: [5] The flow can be modeled as a stream of particles in rectilinear motion; Upon impact with a surface, all normal momentum is lost
