Since pressure is defined as force acting perpendicularly on a surface, P := d(F n)/ds (where n is the versor perpendicular to the element of surface ds), its unit is N/m2, also known as pascal: 1 Pa = 1 N / 1 m2
N/m^2 (N:Newton (unit of Force) that named Pascal is unit of pressure.

1Pa means that 1N load(force) as normally affect on 1 m^2 area.

other unit is bar , mmHg. atmosphere,......
