The correct answer is
N/m2
Pressure is defined as the force acting perpendicularly per unit area, so pressure = force ÷ area.
Force is measured in newtons (N) and area is measured in square metres (m2), giving the SI unit of pressure as N/m2.
This unit is also called the pascal (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.
Hence, the SI unit of pressure is N/m2.
