Pressure is defined as force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. The SI unit of force is Newton (N), and the SI unit of area is square meter (m²). Therefore, the SI unit of pressure is Newton per square meter (N/m²), which is defined as Pascal (Pa).
