What is the unit of pressure?

  • (a) Coulomb
  • (b) Length
  • (c) Ampere
  • (d) Pascal
  • Pressure is defined as the amount of force distributed over a specific area. Mathematically, this is expressed by: P = F / A, where F is measured in newtons and A is measured in square meters.
  • The SI unit is called a Pascal, which is defined by: 1 Pascal = 1 newton/square meter, or 1 Pascal = 1 N/m².
  • The Pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist, and represents how much force is applied over an area. For instance, if you apply a force of 10 N over an area of 2 m², then: P = 10 / 2 = 5 Pa
