Pressure is a scalar quantity because …….

1.	Pressure is a scalar quantity because …….
Answer» it is the RATIO of force to area and both force and area are vectors it is the ratio of the magnitude of the force NORMAL to the area it is the ratio of component of force normal to the area it does not depend on the size of the area CHOSEN Solution :Force in the definition of pressure is the scale component PERPENDICULAR to the surface of force . (Option C) `[P=(vecF)/(vecA)]` The magnitude of component of the force is taken into consideration .HENCE it has no direction .(OptionB) Hence ,pressure is a scalar quantity.
