Q. What is the SI unit of pressure?
Answer: Pascal
Notes: The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one newton per square meter. The pascal is used to measure the pressure of gases and liquids, such as the pressure of the air in a tire or the pressure of water in a pipe. It is also used to measure the strength of materials, such as the pressure that a building foundation can withstand. It is the base unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). Other units of pressure, such as the bar, the atmosphere, and the pound per square inch, can be converted to pascals.
