Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
