Pressure—the effect of a force applied to a surface—is a derived unit, obtained from combining base units. The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of one Newton per square meter. ... A standardized prefix system indicates fractions and multiples of metric units (e.g. milli-, mega-).
