Newton vs. Pascal — What's the Difference?

The SI-derived unit of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second, equal to 100,000 dynes. See Table at measurement.

Abbr. Pa A unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter.

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of force; the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one metre per second per second. Symbol: N.

Pascal A programming language that was specially designed to support structured programming.

English mathematician and physicist; remembered for developing the calculus and for his law of gravitation and his three laws of motion (1642-1727)

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of pressure and stress; one newton per square metre. Symbol: Pa.

A unit of force equal to the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 m/sec/sec to a mass of 1 kilogram; equal to 100,000 dynes

A unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter

French mathematician and philosopher and Jansenist; invented an adding machine; contributed (with Fermat) to the theory of probability (1623-1662)

A programing language designed to teach programming through a top-down modular approach
