QuestionWhat is the SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter ? A. ampere B. candela C. mole D. pascal
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The SI unit of force is the newton ().
. The unit of area is the square meter (m^).
3. The SI unit we are looking for is the one for pressure, which is force per unit area (/m^).
STEP 2
The SI unit for pressure (force per unit area) is the Pascal (Pa).This is because1 Pascal is defined as1 Newton per square meter (1 Pa =1 N/m^2).
STEP 3
Looking at the options provided (ampere, candela, mole, pascal), we can see that the correct answer is Pascal.
So, the SI unit of force equal to one newton exerted on an area of one square meter (/m^2) is Pascal (Pa).
