Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
There are two types of physical quantities, Scalar quantity and vector quantity.
Vector quantities are those which require both magnitude and direction. On the other hand,
Scalar quantities need only magnitude.
As pressure is the quantity which has only magnitude and not the direction. So pressure is a scalar quantity.
So the correct statement would be that pressure is a scalar quantity.
