The SI unit of stress is the pascal (Pa).
Stress is defined as force per unit area, and since the SI unit of force is the newton (N) and the SI unit of area is the square meter (m²), the unit of stress is:
\[
\text{Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}
\]
So, the unit of stress is 1 pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m².
