What is Pressure Barye ?

Pressure Barye is a unit of measurement used to quantify pressure in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.

Pressure is the amount of force applied over a specific area. Imagine pushing on a surface with your hand; the harder you push, the more pressure you're applying. The concept of pressure is crucial in many fields, like physics, engineering, and meteorology, as it helps us understand how forces are distributed in different situations, such as in fluids or gases.

Barye (Ba) is a specific unit for measuring pressure within the CGS system. It is defined as the pressure exerted when a force of one dyne is applied to an area of one square centimeter. Here's a breakdown:

  • Dyne: A dyne is a very small unit of force in the CGS system. It is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one gram by one centimeter per second squared.
  • Square Centimeter: This is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides that are each one centimeter long.

So, when you apply a force of one dyne over an area of one square centimeter, you create a pressure of one barye.

To put it into perspective, one barye is a very small amount of pressure. In the more commonly used International System of Units (SI), one barye is equal to 0.1 pascals (Pa). A pascal is the SI unit of pressure, where one pascal equals one newton of force per square meter.

In summary, Pressure Barye is a way of measuring how much force is being applied per unit area, specifically using the CGS system, where one barye is the pressure produced by one dyne of force over one square centimeter.
