Scalar and Vector Quantities – Rankers Physics

Units: Practice Problem & Solution

Which of the following statement is not true?
Pressure is a vector quality
Relative density is a scalar quantity
Coefficient of viscosity is a scalar quantity
Surface tension is a scalar quantity

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Units. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Pressure is defined as force per unit area, where the force is perpendicular to the surface. Since it acts equally in all directions, pressure is a scalar quantity.
