Which one is the correct representation of the unit of pressure ?
Correct answer: B. newton/meter2
- A. Newton/Meter2
- B. newton/meter2
- C. Newton/meter2
- D. newton/Meter2
Explanation
Pressure is force divided by area, so its SI unit is newton per square metre, written in words as newton/meter2 or more formally as N/m². SI unit names such as newton and metre are written in lowercase when spelled out. Students may choose an option with a capital letter because the symbol for newton, N, is capitalized, but the unit name is not.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
