Pressure is a scalar quantity, becauseA. it is the ratio of force of area and both force and area are vectorsB. it is the ratio of the magnitude of the force to areaC. it is the ratio of the componenet of the force normal to the areaD. it does not depend on the size of the area chosen

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
Pressure is defined as the ratio of magnitude of component of the force normal to the area and the area under consideration.
As magnitude of component is considered , hence, it will not have any direction . So, pressure is a scalar quantity.
