You may need to perform dimension check in your question.

Pressure is Force perunit area and the unit shal be
kgms-2 * m-2 and hence the unit for the pressure is suppose to be kgm-1s-2

Your expression is kg * ms-1 * m-1s-2 and hence you will get
kgs

so.. the exporession is incorrect for units

No.

kgm^-1/ms^-2 = kgs

(kg m/s )/ m/s^2 = kg s it is not pressure unit.
