Best Answer

The SI unit for pressure (which is what you're describing) is the pascal, which is defined as one newton per square meter (a newton is itself a kilogram - meter per second squared, so in SI base units a pascal is one kilogram per meter per second per second).

A pascal is a pretty small amount of pressure. To put it into perspective, normal atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level is about 100,000 Pa.

Can mass also be called a force?

mass cannot be called a force.* Mass is the amount (quantity) of matter within a body. Force is the push- or pull-energy exerted on mass.


When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?

Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.
