Answer:

On my console displays for the ISS visiting vehicles, three units are used. The Americans use pounds per square inch (psi). The Russians use kilopascals (kPa). The Japanese use Torr - millimeters of mercury (mmHg). A fourth unit is simply the atmosphere, or multiples of it. So, for example, sea level air pressure (which is what we use onboard ISS) is defined as 1 atmosphere. That is equivalent to 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa, or 760 mmHg.Here N represents newton which is SI unit of Force which is same as Kg.m/s2." role="presentation">2.2.

m represent metre which is SI unit of length.

Kg represent Kilogram which is SI unit of Mass.

m2SI" role="presentation">2SI2SI unit of Area.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
