Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals (Pa). It is not an SI unit, but it is widely used in many fields, including meteorology, oceanography, and engineering.

Origin:

The bar was introduced by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes, and it is derived from the Greek word "baros," meaning weight. Although the bar is not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI.

Petapascal

A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10¹⁵ pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²), so a petapascal represents an incredibly high pressure value, often used in contexts like materials science or extreme astrophysical phenomena.

Origin:

The term "petapascal" combines the SI prefix "peta-", representing 10¹⁵, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French physicist and mathematician known for his work on pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "peta-" is derived from the Greek word πέντε (pente), meaning "five," corresponding to 10¹⁵ (or 1,000,000,000,000,000). The petapascal is used in highly specialized scientific fields due to its vast magnitude.
