Force per unit area, also known as pressure, is a physical quantity that measures the amount of force exerted on a surface per unit area. It is defined as the ratio of force (F) to the area (A) over which the force is acting:

Pressure = Force / Area

The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equal to one newton per square meter (N/m²). Other commonly used units of pressure include pounds per square inch (psi), atmospheres (atm), and millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
