A little tongue-in-cheek there? In ISU (international system of units),
that would be Newtons/square meter; which you could then convert to Kg/sq mm.
That’s if you’re talking force. If you’re talking pressure, then I guess it
could be Pascals, or even barsJ. And I don’t think you’d find any fig
newtons in a bar. Oops; mixed units.

Wasn't it something like this that caused the Mars Polar explorer to crash
during orbit insertion??
