The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pressure**: Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area. It is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Pressure} (P) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)} \] 2. **Identifying Quantity Types**: In physics, quantities can be classified as either scalar or vector. - A **scalar quantity** has only magnitude (size) and no direction. - A **vector quantity** has both magnitude and direction. 3. **Analyzing Pressure**: - Pressure is determined by the amount of force applied over a specific area. - It does not have a direction associated with it; it only has a magnitude (how much force is applied per unit area). 4. **Conclusion**: Since pressure does not have a direction and is only defined by its magnitude, we classify pressure as a scalar quantity. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Pressure is-" is that pressure is a scalar quantity. ---
