When a liquid is contained in a vessel, it exerts force at all points on the sides and bottom of the vessel. The force per unit area is called intensity of pressure. Mathematically, intensity of pressure,
p = P/A
where
P = Force acting on the liquid, and
A = Area on which the force acts.
The intensity of pressure may be expressed either in N/m2, N/mm2 or in metres of liquid or mm of liquid. Intensity of pressure is also expressed in pascal (briefly written as Pa), such that
1 Pa= 1 N/m2; 1 kPa= 1 kN/m2 and 1 MPa = 1 MN/m2= 1 N/mm2
22) Pa (Pascal) is the unit for

Answer is:
they are nearer to earth and hence we receive a greater amount of light and, therefore minor variations in the intensity are not noticeable
Explanation:
A star has its own light (Our SUN also one of the star). But a planet has no light of its own. It shines by reflecting the light of the sun.
Answer is:
they contain free electrons
Explanation:
Conductors have free electrons in valence band. There is no forbidden energy gap between valence band and conduction band. Thus the electrons can readily jump from valence band to conduction band. Thus motion of electrons implies flow of current and hence metals are good conductors.
Answer is:
will not rise
Explanation:
Since in capillary tube liquid flows against the gravity where the liquid continuosly rises in the narrow space but it is not so in any other tube of insufficient lenth.
Answer is:
Impulse and moment of force
Explanation:
Impulse means change in the momentum of a body i.e. Impulse = Ft = mv - mu The turning effect of force about the axis of rotation is called moment of force or torque. So they don't have any units... resulting no dimensions!!
