∙ 10y agoNo, pressure is a scalar quantity. It has no direction, it has just a value.
(Stress in continuum mechanics is described by a second-order tensor.)

∙ 10y agoPressure is a scalar quantity that is given in units of force per unit of area.
- pounds per square inch
- Pascals which are Newtons per square metre

What is scaler quantities and vector quantities?
scalar quantity has only magnitude whereas vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction
Why is the volume is a scaler quantity?
When something is scalar, it means it has a magnitude, but not a direction. Volume is a scalar because there is no direction of volume.
What is the physical quantity which has the unit pascal?
pressure
What would increase the solubility of the solution?
increasing the temperature or pressure
What are the effects of changes in temperature volume pressure or quantity on an ideal gas?
The relation is decribed by the law of Clapeyron: pV= nRT where - p is the pressure - V is the volume n is the quantity of material - R is the gas constant - T is the temperature
Voltage is a vector quantity or scaler quantity?
Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.
What does scaler mean?
A scaler quantity is one with magnitude (size) only. ie. not direction dependent. Speed is a scaler quantity, however, velocity is a vector quantity, it has size and direction.
Is it possible to add a vector quantity to a scaler quantity?
No.
When if ever can a vector quantity be added to a scaler quantity?
never
Is the work vector quantity or scalar quantity?
Work is a scalar quantity.
What is a scaler quantity?
It is a "scalar quantity", it refers to a quantity that has magnitude but no direction, as distinct from a vector quantity
Is work vector or scaler quantity?
Work is a scalar.
Write differences between scaler and vector quantities?
Scaler Quantity- quantities which are described only by magnitude.Vector Quantity- quantities which are described by both magnitude as well as direction.
Is electric current scaler or vector quantity?
Electric current is a scalar.
Is it possible that a physical quantity has direction but it is a scaler?
If a direction is relevant, then it is NOT a scalar, but a vector.
Scaler quantity that represents the true distance that was covered by an object?
Its simply called "Distance"
Why is force not a scaler quantity?
A force is a vector. That simply means that the direction in which you apply a force is relevant.
