2x107 Pa s

Any reason it’s not expressed as 214 Pa s?

[B.O. Plenty]

Its physics talk, my man.

Varlets are not supposed to understand.

Probably a formatting error and it’s supposed to be 2x10^7.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Because it's 2x10⁷

[EEGator]

They must mean 2x10^7 Pa s

[catman67]

More like 20,000,000 Pa S

[Mr. K]

its probably supposed to be 2 time 10 to the 7th power

2 x 10^7

This is yet another example of the phenomenon of media trust... If you KNOW the topic, you can see the media are clueless... which should make you suspect their level of understanding of anythign else they report

If you write software, and you read an article about it often it is is ridiculously lame. This is true if you are a roofer and you read an article about roofing, or a painter, or an engineer, etc. etc.

It's probably supposed to be 2 x 10⁷Pa s. Superscripts often get demoted when HTML is copied

[Oberon]

Any reason it’s not expressed as 214 Pa s?

Because that notation is intended to express "two times ten to the seventh power," or 20,000,000.

[Red Badger]

Yes, it’s a mis-print. That should be 2x10^7 Pa.............or IOW, a whole bunch of Pa’s........

[spaced]

“2x107 Pa s

“Any reason it’s not expressed as 214 Pa s?”

The actual number is 20,000,000. The person typing didn’t know how to insert a superscript.

[dangus]

Probably because they meant 2X10^7 Pa S.

As in 20,000,000, not 214.
