Convert Megapascal to Pascal
Megapascal
A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10⁶ pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The megapascal is commonly used in engineering and materials science to measure high pressures.
The term "megapascal" combines the SI prefix "mega-", representing 10⁶, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "mega-" comes from the Greek word μέγας (mégas), meaning "great" or "large," and was adopted in 1960 to denote 10⁶, or one million. The megapascal is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts where pressures are high.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It quantifies force per unit area and is commonly used to measure pressure, stress, and tensile strength. Mathematically: 1 Pa = 1 N/m² = 1 kg·m⁻¹·s⁻².
The unit is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), a French mathematician, physicist, and inventor known for his significant contributions to fluid mechanics and the study of pressure. His work on the principles of hydraulic fluids, including Pascal's Law, laid the foundation for modern fluid dynamics. The pascal as a unit was officially adopted in 1971 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) as part of the International System of Units (SI).
