Define the term pressure?
Difficulty: Easy
Pressure:
The force acting normally per unit area on the surface of a body is called pressure.
Thus
Pressure P = $\frac{Force}{Area}$
Or P = $\frac{F}{A}$
Unit of Pressure:
In SI units, the unit of pressure is $Nm^{-2}$ also called pascal (Pa).
Thus
1 $Nm^{-2}$ = 1 Pa
