Question

define the term pressure and state its unit

Answer 1

force by area/ force per unit area is pressure.
pascal/ Newton
m square

Answer 2

Hey!

• Pressure can be defined as the force applied on per area !!

pressure = Force/area

$pressure = \frac{newton}{ {m}^{2} }$

[ SI unit of Force is Newton ( N ) and SI unit of length is m ( area = Lenght ² i.e, m² ) ]


SI unit of pressure is Newton/m² which is also known as Pascal !!
