Pressure is a scalar quantity, because

A

it is the ratio of force to are and both force and area vectors.

B

it is the ratio of the magnitude of the force to area.

C

it is the ratio of the component of the force normal to the area.

D

it dose not depend on the size of the area chosen.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
Pressure is a quantity because `P= F//A`, where F is the component of normal force to the area A, and it is independent on the size of the area chosen.
