Pascal

Pascal is a unit used to measure pressure, named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It quantifies the force applied over a specific area. Specifically, one Pascal equals one newton of force spread over one square meter. For example, if you press on a surface with a force of one newton distributed over one square meter, the pressure is one Pascal. This measurement helps in understanding and comparing how pressure interacts with objects and fluids, and it’s commonly used in science, engineering, and weather reporting.
