Definition
The pascal can be expressed using SI derived units, or alternatively solely SI base units, as:
Where N is the newton, m is the metre, kg is the kilogram and s is the second.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
