The Pascal is a unit of pressure, and since viscosity involves force per unit area (dynamic viscosity), the SI unit is represented as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Pa} = \\frac{\\text{N}}{\\text{m}^2}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>where N is Newton, which is the unit of force. Thus, we can write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Pa} \\cdot \\text{s} = \\frac{\\text{N} \\cdot \\text{s}}{\\text{m}^2}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s examine the relationship between Pa\u00b7s and the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system units, which use Poise and centipoise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poise and Centipoise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Poise<\/strong> (P) is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity, and it is defined as the force of one dyne per square centimeter per velocity gradient of one centimeter per second. The unit of Poise can be expressed as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>1 \\, \\text{Poise} = \\frac{1 \\, \\text{dyne} \\cdot \\text{s}}{\\text{cm}^2}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, the <strong>dyne<\/strong> is defined as ( 1 \\, \\text{dyne} = 10^{-5} \\, \\text{N} ), and ( 1 \\, \\text{cm} = 10^{-2} \\, \\text{m} ). Therefore, we can convert Poise to SI units:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>1 \\, \\text{Poise} = \\frac{1 \\cdot 10^{-5} \\, \\text{N} \\cdot \\text{s}}{(10^{-2} \\, \\text{m})^2} = 10^{-3} \\, \\text{Pa} \\cdot \\text{s}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, we have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>1 \\, \\text{Pa} \\cdot \\text{s} = 10 \\, \\text{Poise}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conversion to Centipoise (cP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The centipoise (cP) is simply ( 1 \\, \\text{Poise} = 100 \\, \\text{cP} ).
