2. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

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

   The pascal (Pa) or kilopascal (kPa) as a unit of pressure measurement is widely used throughout the world and has largely replaced the pounds per square inch (psi) unit, except in some countries that still use the imperial measurement system or the US customary system, including the United States.

3. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

   Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

   The joule is dimensionally equivalent to the units of torque and moment of force but should be used in preference to the newton metre (N·m). Power: P: watt: W 1 W = 1 J/s = 1 N·m/s = 1 kg·m 2 /s 3: Unit named after James Watt. Pressure: p: pascal: Pa 1 Pa = 1 N / m 2 = 1 kg/(m·s 2) Named after Blaise Pascal. Normal stress, Shear stress

6. Kilogram-force per square centimetre - Wikipedia

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

   This use of the unit of pressure provides an intuitive understanding for how a body's mass, in contexts with roughly standard gravity, can apply force to a scale's surface area, i.e. kilogram-force per square (centi-)metre. In SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square metre (N ...

7. Pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

   Some of these derive from a unit of force divided by a unit of area; the SI unit of pressure, the pascal (Pa), for example, is one newton per square metre (N/m 2); similarly, the pound-force per square inch (psi, symbol lbf/in 2) is the traditional unit of pressure in the imperial and US customary systems.
