Question

What Is The CGS Unit Of Pressure?

Answer 1

Pressure

1. Force exerted perpendicular to the surface per unit area is called pressure.
2. Pressure is measured in different units. S.I. unit of pressure is pascals (Pa).
3. It is also expressed in newtons per square meter $(N/m^2$or pounds per square inch.
4. Other units include the atmosphere (atm), torr, bar, and meters sea water (msw).

5. The CGS unit of pressure is a bar (barye), which is also expressed as equal to 1 dyne·cm⁻².

6. 1 bar pressure = 10⁵ pascal.
