Question

Name the gravitational and meteorological units of pressure and then express them in SI units.

Answer 1

1. The gravitational unit of pressure is “kilogram-force per square meter” which is usually denoted by $kgf/m^2$
2. The meteorological unit of pressure is the “bar”.

Expressing the gravitational and meteorological units of pressure in SI units

1. $10newton=1kgf$
2. $10N/m^{2_{}}=1kgf/m^2$
3. $1kgf/m^2=10Pa$
4. $1bar={10}^{5}N/m^2$
5. $1bar={10}^{5}Pa$
