Analyze the following statements regarding the properties of Fluid Pressure.
I. Pressure is a scalar quantity, as it is the ratio of the magnitude of force to the area.
II. According to Pascal’s Law, pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel.
III. Hydrostatic pressure at a point inside a liquid depends on the shape of the containing vessel.
IV. The pressure at a given depth in a stationary liquid is the same in all directions.
V. Gauge pressure is the difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure.
