Q. 1 Bar Of Pressure Is Equal To?

Ans:- The Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes introduces the bar. He was the founder of weather forecasting. The metric unit of pressure is a bar. Still, it is not a part of the international unit system (SI unit). It is equal to 100,000pa, which is 100kPa, which is less than the average atm pressure on the earth’s sea level. But, according to the barometric formulae, 1 bar is almost equal to atm pressure at 111-meter altitude.

1 bar = 0.986923 atm

We can measure the pressure in several units in the world. We can measure pressure in the atm and bar. If you want to solve any problem related to atmospheric pressure, you must know the relation between the atm and bar. 

Atmospheric pressure =1atm=1.01×105Pa=1.01bar

1bar=105Pa=100kPa

We take this value of 1 bar of pressure as a reference for measuring by air on an object at sea level. 

Now, 1 bar is a value taken by physicists to directly compare the pressure.

For an object submerged in a fluid,

Ps=Py=Px

According to the Pascal’s law

And this pressure will be

Ps=Py=Px=(gravity)×( density)×(maximum height of the fluid from the object)

This is the pressure on the atmosphere

This pressure is applied to us due to the atmosphere.

We hope now you have understood what 1 bar of pressure is equal to.
