The unit of pressure is

  1. Akg / cm²
  2. Bkg / cm
  3. Ckg / mm
  4. Dkg / cm³
  5. ENone of the above / More than one of the above

65th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (e) None of the above / More than one of the above

Explanation

Pressure is force per unit area, P = F/A; its SI unit is the pascal (Pa) = N/m².

In MKS terms this equals kg·m⁻¹·s⁻²; the CGS unit is the barye.

None of kg/cm², kg/cm, kg/mm or kg/cm³ is a correct SI unit of pressure.
