Force, Pressure and Temperature Units 1. The atmosphere on Mars is largely CO2 The pressure is 610 pascals and the average temperature is about -81 F. Transfer the information to atm pressure and temperature in Kelvin _atm _K 2. Force has a unit of Newtons. Pascals are a unit of Pressure (defined as force per area or Newtons/meter?). So what is the pressure in Pascals if a force of 4.88 kN is pressed against an area of 235 cm2? Pascal = 1 Newton/m2 1 kN = 1 kilonewton = 1000 newtons cm? = 1x 10 -4 m? Pascals
