Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. $1$. Pressure is a scalar quantity because it is defined as force per unit area and does not follow vector addition rules. $2$. Pressure is always compressive in nature,meaning it acts to compress the fluid or object it is applied to. $3$. According to Pascal's Law,the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest is the same in all directions. Since all the statements ($A$,$B$,and $C$) are correct,the wrong statement is none of these.
