P is the pressure at some point in a liquid. State whether pressure P is a scalar or vector quantity.

उत्तर
Pressure exerted on an enclosed fluid gets transmitted equally and undiminishing in all directions. So no particular direction is associated with pressure.
That is why Pressure is a scalar quantity.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ, the liquid surface makes angle θ(θ << 1) with the x-axis at x = L. If y(x) is the height of the surface then the equation for y(x) is:
(take θ(x) = sin θ(x) = tan θ(x) = `dy/dx`, g is the acceleration due to gravity)
