Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Newton per metre squared N / m².
· One Pascal (Pa) is defined as the pressure of one Newton (N) of force applied over an area of one square metre (m²).
· The formula for pressure is given by:
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A).
Therefore, 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 Newton (N) / 1 metre squared (m²).
Information Booster:
· Pascal is the SI unit of pressure, named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, and inventor.
· Pressure is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no specific direction.
· Other common units of pressure include bar, atmosphere (atm), and pounds per square inch (psi).
· 1 atmosphere (atm) equals 101,325 Pascals (Pa).
