pascal
Aussprache: [ˈpæskəl]
Wort
Kontext: „measurement“
(noun) Pascal is a unit used to measure pressure. It tells us how much force is spread over a certain area. When we pump air into a tire, we might use pascals to know how hard the air is pushing on the tire's walls.
Beispiel
The pressure in the tire was measured at 200 pascals, which was perfect for safe driving.
Beispiel
The pressure was too low and didn't reach the necessary 100 pascals, making the tire unfit to drive.
Beispiel
What is the pressure in pascals that we need for this tire?
