Why hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even through pressure is force divided by area?

I'm guessing that your issue is that force is a vector quantity? It turns out that hydrostatic force is always normal to the surface, so it can be treated as a scalar; only the magnitude is important.

Resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point known as?
Center of Pressure. CP is located at the centroid on a flat panal or surface.
What is the bursting strength?
Bursting strength tells how much pressure paper can tolerate before rupture. It is important for bag paper.Bursting strength is measured as the maximum hydrostatic pressure required to rupture the sample by constantly increasing the pressure applied through a rubber diaphragm on 1.20 - inch diameter (30.5 mm) sample.
Is work done a scalar or a vector quantity?
Work done is the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance. It is a scalar quantity.
What is the physical quantity measured by an voltmeter?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
How is the Conservation of Energy and Conservation of Momentum similar?
In both cases, there is a quantity that doesn't change over time in a closed system - the conserved quantity. Both laws of conservation can help you solve certain problems that might be quite tricky to solve through other means.In both cases, there is a quantity that doesn't change over time in a closed system - the conserved quantity.

What forces the fluids through the membraNes in the kidneys?
hydrostatic pressure
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
Movement of molecules through a membrane by filtration depends upon the presence of?
Hydrostatic Pressure
What is static pressure in Fluent. Is it the same as hydrostatic pressure. But why does it increase through the channel sometimes?
Is a closed circuit hydraulic system.
What is the movement of water and solutes through a membrane because of hydrostatic pressure called?
osmosis
Molecules within the blood are forced out through the walls of capillaries as a result of osmotic pressure?
false- osmotic pressure draws water in capillaries hydrostatic pressure forces water out
Use of hydrostatic force to move fluids through a membrane?
There are many mechanisms for water to move through a membrane. Passive diffusion (osmosis) and facilitated diffusion are common biological processes. Sometimes a fluid like water can be forced through with hydrostatic pressure (water pressure), although this is less common in normal physiology.
Resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point known as?
Center of Pressure. CP is located at the centroid on a flat panal or surface.
Blood flow through capillaries is controlled by?
Pressure. Capillaries are small so the force of blood coming from the heart is at greater pressure when it reaches the tiny capillaries. Pressure forces the diffusion of particles in and the osmotic diffusion of substances out (mainly metabolic wastes) to the veins.
What is the pressure at the bottom of a mountain as water flows through different size pipes?
If the water is flowing by gravity there is NO hydrostatic pressureIf you want to find the static pressure under no flow conditions take the constant .433 and times it by the height
