Most pressure is measured in?

Pressure is defined as Force per Unit of Area. In the Imperial system of units it is usually measured in Pound per Squre Inch, abbreviated to P.S.I.. In the metric system it is usually measured using the units :- KiloPascal abbreviated to kPa. Car tyre pressure is always expressed in either of these units I have named. A 'Pascal' is defined as 1Newton per Square Metre. A KiloPascal is equal to 1000 Pascal. A Newton is a unit of Force, not, a unit of Pressure. 1Newton = 0.102 Kilogram force.

Why is pressure a derived quantity?

In the SI system, because that's the way it is defined. Pressure is defined as force divided by area. SI units are newton / square meter, this derived unit is called the pascal. This is the way it is defined in the SI, and in some other systems of units. You could just as well create a system of units in which pressure is a base unit, and force is derived (as the product of pressure x area). The decision, which units are base units and which units are derived, is more or less arbitrary.
