What does BARYE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In the older centimetre-gram-second system of measurement, a unit of pressure equal to one dyne per square centimetre.
Physicists once relied on the barye when working in the older cgs framework, a scheme built around the centimetre, the gram, and the second rather than the metre and kilogram used today. A single barye represents an extremely small push, roughly a millionth of ordinary atmospheric pressure, so tables listing it often show large numbers for everyday phenomena. Scientists working with older texts or instruments, particularly in fields such as acoustics and fluid mechanics, still encounter the barye occasionally, even though the pascal has taken over almost everywhere else. The name barye comes from a Greek root meaning heavy, the same root that gives English words such as barometer.
