Question

If pressure is a scalar quantity and I can't add or subtract different magnitudes of pressure acting on the same object, what if I divide the NET force by area? what quantity would that give me. I suppose it would give me the " net " pressure but that contradicts the fact that I can't add or subtract individual pressure values on the same object. And I'm not talking about hydrostatic pressure​

Answer 1

Answer:

suppose it would give me the " net " pressure but that contradicts the fact that I can't add or subtract individual pressure values on the same object. And I'm not talking about hydrostatic pressure so please don't give me the pascals law explanation that a fluid exerts pressure in all directions
