▲ 1 ▼ How is pressure a scalar quantity? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by TheSmartDude@lemmy.world to c/askphysics@lemmy.world comment fedilink hide all child comments Pressire acts on all directions, which means that pressure has a direction to act upon, allbeit plural. A scalar quantity is a force that has no direction to act upon. How is pressure a scalar quantity? Shouldn't it be a vector quantity?
