- Pressure is the force per unit perpendicular area over which the force is applied. In equation form, pressure is defined as. P=FA P = F A .
- The SI unit of pressure is pascal and 1 Pa=1 N/m2 1 Pa = 1 N/m 2 .
What is the formula used to calculate pressure?
Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2.

How do you measure pascals?
One Pascal unit is defined, in base units, as 1 kilogram per metre second squared (1kg/ms2) or 1 newton per metre squared (1N/m2). In layman's terms, it measures the pressure applied by one newton of force acting at a right angle on an area of one square metre.
