Answer:

Explanation:

The kPa-kilopascal is the unit of pressure. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a mathematician and physicist.

The kPa is 1000Pa. Kilo stands for 1000. Now what is a pascal?

A pascal is the amount of force(Newton) exerted per unit area.

            1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

At the standard atmospheric level, the pressure is 101.325 x 10³ Nm⁻² i.e the atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101.325 x 10³N in an area of a body.

This unit is used to calculate pressure. It can be converted to other units.
