MCQ
$SI$ unit of pressure is
  • Pascal
  • B
    $Dynes/c{m^2}$
  • C
    $cm\,$ of $Hg$
  • D
    Atmosphere

Answer

Correct option: A.
Pascal
a
The SI unit of pressure is pascal (represented as $Pa$) which is equal to one newton per square metre $\left( N / m ^2\right.$ or $kg m ^{-1} s ^{-2}$ ). Interestingly, this name was given in $1971$ . Before that pressure in $SI$ was measured in $newtons$ $per$ $square$ $metre$.
