What are Bar and Megapascal

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Though not an SI unit, it is widely used in meteorology and geology.

Definition of Megapascal

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the metric system equal to one million pascals. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to measure tensile strength.
