[ (any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area) ] is a fine unit for describing pressure.

A couple of common units are

-- PSI (pounds per square inch)

-- pa (Pascal)

What are the 2 units of air pressure used in weather reports?

The two units of air pressure commonly used in weather reports are millibars (mb) and inches of mercury (inHg).


What 2 instruments commonly used to measure air pressure?

Two instruments commonly used to measure air pressure are barometers and manometers. Barometers are commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, while manometers are used in various industries to measure pressure in closed systems.


Difference between fan blower and compressor?

A fan blower is used to create air flow by pushing air in a specific direction, commonly used for ventilation or cooling purposes. A compressor, on the other hand, is used to increase the pressure of a gas or air by reducing its volume, often found in refrigeration systems or air conditioning units to compress coolant gases. In summary, a fan blower moves air, while a compressor pressurizes air.


When SI units combine what do they make?

When SI units combine, they create derived SI units that are used to express physical quantities. These derived units are formed by multiplying or dividing the base SI units. Examples include the Newton (kg*m/s^2) for force and the Pascal (N/m^2) for pressure.


Unit of measurement of air pressure?

Units of pressure ... in anything ... are (any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area). ADDED: True, but to be more specific, the standard units of pressure are the Pascal (Pa), the Bar (aka the "atmosphere") and the pound/in^2.


What are the appropriate units for pressure force and area?

Pressure is typically measured in units such as Pascals (Pa), atmospheres (atm), or pounds per square inch (psi). Force is measured in units such as Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs), and area is measured in units such as square meters (m^2) or square inches (in^2).


How fast does air with a velocity pressure of 0.20 in w.g. move through square duct?

The velocity pressure can be used to calculate the velocity of air in the duct using the formula: velocity = √(2 * pressure / air density). Assuming standard air density and converting 0.20 in w.g. to the appropriate pressure unit, the velocity of air in the duct would be approximately 903 ft/min.


Does air pressure increase in a mine?

Yes, air pressure can increase in a mine, especially in deeper parts of the mine where the weight of the overlying rock puts pressure on the air. This increased air pressure can affect ventilation and breathing for miners, so ventilation systems are used to regulate the pressure and ensure safe working conditions.

What to instruments are used to measure air pressure?

A barometer is one. That's all I know. I have homework to do regarding 2 instruments to measure air pressure. ADDED: The Aneroid Barometer, as you say, for atmospheric pressure. Also typically, a Bourdon-principle pressure-gauge for anything much higher, such as tyre pressures.
