Q: What unit of pressure is named for the scientist whose discoveries about pressure in fluids led to a law of the same name?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

In the above equation for pressure, force is expressed in Newtons (N) and area is expressed in square meters (m 2 ). Therefore, pressure is expressed in N/m 2 , which is the SI unit for pressure. This unit is also called the Pascal (Pa) . It is named for the scientist Blaise Pascal whose discoveries about pressure in fluids led to a law of the same name. Pressure may also be expressed in the kilopascal (kPa), which equals 1000 Pascals. For example, the correct air pressure inside a mountain bike tire is usually about 200 kPa.

 Choices:

- ohm

- newton

- joule

- pascal


A:
pascal
