Solution

The correct option is A True

Explanation:

  1. The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed is known as pressure.
  2. Its SI unit is Pascal (Pa) or N/m2 .
  3. One pascal is equivalent to 1 newton (N) of force applied over an area of 1 square meter (m2).
  4. Mathematically it is given as,

Pressure=ForceArea=F(N)A(m2)

Hence, the given statement is True.
