Question

The SI unit for pressure is pascal (Pa). One hectopascal would equal how many pascals?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 hectopascal = 100 Pascal

Explanation:

Pressure exerted by an object is defined as the force acting on it per unit area. Mathematically, it is given by :

$pressure=\dfrac{force}{area}$

The SI unit of  unit of pressure is pascal. It is equivalent to :

$1\ Pa=N/m^2$

or

$1\ Pa=kg\ m^{-1}s^{-2}$

1 hectopascal = 100 Pascal

So, one hectopascal equals 100 pa. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer 2

1 hectopascal (hPa) is equivalent to 100 Pa
