Assertion: Pressure is a vector quantity...

Assertion: Pressure is a vector quantity.
Reason: Pressure `P=(F)/(A)`. Here `F`, the force is a vector quantity.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Direction of force is `p=(F)/(A)` is always perpendicular to the surface or it it always specific. Hence, it is not a vector.
