What does one pascal represent?

One pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton of force applied evenly over an area of one square meter.

Why convert pascals to centimeter mercury (0°C)?

This conversion helps translate SI pressure readings into manometric units used in laboratories and calibration setups involving mercury columns.

Are there any practical limitations when using centimeter mercury units?

Yes, centimeter mercury depends on specific temperature and gravity conditions and mercury's toxicity limits widespread practical application.
