Answer:
1 hectopascal = 100 Pascal
Explanation:
Pressure exerted by an object is defined as the force acting on it per unit area. Mathematically, it is given by :
[tex]pressure=\dfrac{force}{area}[/tex]
The SI unit of unit of pressure is pascal. It is equivalent to :
[tex]1\ Pa=N/m^2[/tex]
or
[tex]1\ Pa=kg\ m^{-1}s^{-2}[/tex]
1 hectopascal = 100 Pascal
So, one hectopascal equals 100 pa. Hence, the correct option is (c).
