Question

Thrust and pressure are scalar quantities. State true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Thrust is the force acting normal to the surface so we require both direction and magnitude of force for complete description of the force. hence it is a vector quantity.

whereas pressure requires only its magnitude for its complete description, hence pressure is a scalar quantity.

hence given statement is false so option (B) is correct.
