Assertion : Hydrostatic pressure is a vector quantity.
Reason : Pressure is force divided by area, and force is a vector quantity.

Is pressure a vector quantity?

Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity, even though pressure is force divided by area and force is a vector? Why?

Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area.

Pressure is a vector quantity. (T or F)

Explain why (a) the blood pressure is humans is greater at the feet than at the brain. (b) Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half its value at the sea level through the 'height' of the atmospheric is more than 100 km. (c) Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area , and force is a vector.
