The unit of pressure known as pascal is equal to 1 Newton / (metre)^2

It is the pressure exerted by a force of 1 newton , which is applied on an area of 1 metre square.

1 pascal pressure means that 1 newton force is equally distributed over an area of 1 metre square .

It is a small unit used for low pressures.

Pascal is denoted by the symbol Pa

It is derived from the formula pressure = force / area.
