Answer: Pressure is defined as the force acting normally on a unit area of the surface of any object. “p” or “P” is the sign for it.
P = F / A
where:
P = pressure,
F = normal force magnitude, and
A = area
We just need to know the magnitude of the component of the force normal to the surface hence, pressure has no defined direction, so it’s a scalar quantity.
