Summary

For linear deformations -- compression and tensile -- the modulus is known as Young's modulus.

Several different systems of units are in common useage when dealing with pressure:

1 pascal = 1 Pa = 1 [ N / m2 ]

1 atm = 1.013 x 105 Pa

1 bar = 100 kPa = 1 x 10 5 Pa

1 atm = 1.013 bar

1 atm = 101.3 kPa

1 mm Hg = 133 Pa

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

1 Torr = 1 mm Hg

1 atm = 760 Torr

(Units of pounds per square inch (PSI) are also commonly used but we will avoid those in this course).
