Why is Pascal a metric unit?
The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is also used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2 ). [1]

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI -derived unit of pressure or stress. It is a measure of perpendicular force per unit area and is equal to one newton per square meter. In everyday life, the pascal is best known from meteorological air-pressure reports, where it happens in the form of hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa). [1]
pascal (Pa), unit of pressure and stress in the metre-kilogram-second system (the International System of Units [SI]). It was named in honour of the French mathematician-physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). A pascal is a pressure of one newton per square metre, or, in SI base units, one kilogram per metre per second squared.

The pascal (Pa) is the unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units ( SI ). It is named after the scientist and mathematician Blaise Pascal. One pascal is equivalent to 1 newton (N) of force applied over an area of 1 square meter ( m 2 ).
However, stress has its own SI unit, called the pascal. 1 pascal (symbol Pa) is equal to 1 N/m 2. In Imperial units, stress is measured in pound-force per square inch, which is often shortened to "psi". The dimension of stress is the same as that of pressure . In continuum mechanics, the loaded deformable body behaves as a continuum.
