Megapascal is the unit of pressure, and its full name is megapascal. 1Pa refers to the pressure generated by a force of 1N uniformly pressing on an area of ??1m. 1MPa = 1,000,000 Pa, which can also be written as 1MPa = 1,000,000Pa.

Unit introduction

Pa is the unit of pressure, 1Pa is 1N/㎡, 1Pa=1N/m?. 1Pa is a very small pressure. Using Pa directly as the unit of measurement for pressure will also cause a lot of inconvenience in actual calculations, so some larger units of measurement are often used. For example, 1MPa, 1atm, 1mmHg.

1MPa is 1 million times 1Pa, that is, 1MPa=10^6Pa. 1MPa (1 megapascal) = 1 million pascals.

Overview

Pascal (Pascal for short) is the unit of pressure and is the name of a scientist. Pascal was a famous French mathematician, physicist, philosopher and essayist.

Pascal Blaise, French mathematician, physicist, and founder of modern probability theory. He proposed a law about liquid pressure, later known as Pascal's law. The principles of intuitionism he established had an influence on later philosophers, such as Rousseau and Bergson.

Pascal died on August 19, 1662, at the age of 39. In order to commemorate Pascal, later generations named the unit of pressure after him, referred to as "Pa".

Contribution

In his famous philosophical work "Thoughts", Pascal left the world with a famous saying: "Man is just a reed, the most fragile thing in nature. “But he was a thinking reed.

The scientific community remembers Pascal's achievements. The International System of Units stipulates that the unit of "pressure" is "Pascal" because he was the first to propose the "Pascal's law" or "Pascal's principle" to describe the properties of liquid pressure. ".

The computer field will never forget Pascal's contribution. The PASCAL language, which was launched in 1971, is also to commemorate this pioneer and keep Pascal's name in the computer age.
