Name one unit used to measure pressure.
- Correct Answer: torr
- decibel
- watt
- meter
Explanation: Pressures are given in a multitude of units. We've already discussed Pascals, and we know that another unit for pressure is the atmosphere (1 atm = 101.3 x 10 5 Pa). The third commonly used pressure unit is the torr (symbol: Torr). 760 torr is 1 atm, but 1 torr is also the increase in pressure necessary to cause liquid mercury to rise by 1 mm. For that reason, torr is also commonly referred to as "millimeters mercury. " Another pressure unit commonly used in our everyday world is psi, or pounds per square inch, though neither psi nor torr are SI units.
