Detailed explanation-1: -[ C/U ] the force produced by pressing against something: [ U ] air/blood/water pressure. [ C/U ] physics. Pressure is also the force that is put on a surface with reference to the area of the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pressure is defined as the thrust (perpendicular force on a surface) acting per unit area of a body. Mathematically it can be defined as, SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal is the pressure exerted by a force of 1 Newton over an area of 1 metre2. Also, 1 P a = 1 N / m 2 .

Detailed explanation-3: -The SI unit of pressure is pascal (represented as Pa) which is equal to one newton per square metre (N/m2 or kg m-1s-2).

Detailed explanation-4: -See definition of pressure on Dictionary.com. nounphysical force, weight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Types of pressure: Absolute pressure, gauge pressure, differential pressure.
