One is an 1 1/2" in diameter, 24 inches tall and measures 5 inches of rain.
5 cubic inches of rain falling on an area of five square inches is the same as one inch of rain falling on one square inch of area.
If you say the larger gauge is 24 inches tall, and is graduated to measure 5 inches of rain, then the collection surface area is about 5 times as large as the surface area of the measuring tube.

A desk is capable of supporting 10 million microbes and the average office contains 20,961 microbes per square inch, according to research.
The key offenders are telephones, which harbour up to 25,127 microbes per square inch, keyboards 3,295 and computer mice 1,676.
Microbiologist Dr Charles Gerba, of the University of Arizona, who carried out the research, said: "When someone is infected with a cold or flu bug the surfaces they touch during the day become germ transfer points because some cold and flu viruses can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours.

And for the surface, I thought, why not cut out twelve inch by twelve inch pieces of half to one inch thick Styrofoam and cut holes at either the one, four, nine, or sixteen spacing, the standard spacing for Square Foot Gardening.
I planted each square foot with a different crop until the entire 4x4 was filled with a variety of lettuces, beets, Swiss chard, scallions, peppers, radishes, and spinach.
One idea I thought of was to leave one or two of the Styrofoam squares empty and to plant water lilies in that square.

This square receives a total of 2.2 lumens, spread over 1 square inch, so the brightness of the light on the screen is 2.2 lumens / 1 square inch = 2.2 lumens per square inch.
The area of this square is 2 inches × 2 inches = 4 square inches, so the brightness on the screen is now 2.2 lumens / 4 square inch = 0.55 lumens per square inch.
Because the area of a sphere increases as the square of its radius, it's the square of D which appears in the denominator.

 Add Value When Performing Square Inch Analyses
Many catalogers perform some kind of square inch analysis to evaluate absolute and relative item sales and profitability.
To determine cost per square inch, divide total attributable catalog expense (postage, printing, lists, merge/purge and an allocation for fixed creative expenses like models, photography and copy writing) by the number of square inches devoted to product sales.
Implementing these additional approaches to square inch analysis is not difficult once item sales data and a space allocation are captured on a spreadsheet.

 Square Newton
A Pascal (Pa) is a unit of pressure, and is equal to a Newton per square meter, N/(m^2) (this is a fairly low pressure).
A square Newton would be the measure of a squared force, as to which the physical meaning of it escapes me. I thought most cartons gave a measurement of how much pressure or how much force per area they could handle.
This is denoted by psi (pounds per inch square) By the way, k in kPa means 1000 Pa. Also 1000 psi is denoted by 1 ksi.
