Question

If one newton force is applied to unit crossesctional area (in $m^2$) of any subject then the amount of pressure applied is

• A. one pascal
• B. one atmospheric pressure
• C. one gauge pressure
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

one pascal

Pressure is defined as force per unit area applied on a surface.

$P=\frac{F}{A}$
In SI units, pressure has unit $N/m^2$ which is equivalent to $Pa$(Pascal).
