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.
Millimeter Mercury (0°c)
Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.
Current Use
Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
