Vapor pressure called partial pressure. For example, air at sea level, and saturated with water vapor at 20 °C, has partial pressures of about 2.3 kPa of water, 78 kPa of nitrogen, 21 kPa of oxygen and 0.9 kPa of argon, totaling 102.2 kPa, making the basis for standard atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure is measured in the standard units of pressure. The International System of Units (SI) recognizes pressure as a derived unit with the dimension of force per area and designates the pascal (Pa) as its standard unit. One pascal is one newton per square meter (N·m or kg·m·s). Experimental measurement
Kos (unit) Kos (unit) The kos (Sanskrit: कोस), also spelled Kosh, Krosh, krosha and Koss, is an ancient Indian subcontinental "Arthashastra standard unit" of distance, since at least 4 BCE. A kos is about 3.00 km or 1.91 miles. The ""Arthashastra: Chapter XX. Measurement of space and time"", authored in 4th century BCE by Chanakya (Vishnugupta Kauṭilya), sets this standard breakup of Indian units of length: Kos may also refer to roughly 1.8 km (1 mile) or 3.2 km (2 miles). "Arthashastra Standard unit" of Kos or krosh is equal to 3075 metres in SI units and 1.91 miles in Imperial units.
