In classical mechanics, the moment of inertia is also known as angular mass. By this, you can identify whether the angular mass is scalar or vector and the same goes for a moment of inertia. The answer is yes, the moment of inertia is a scalar quantity.

Tensor is a quantity which has magnitude but more than one direction.

Ex: Stress, Moment of inertia etc.

Pressure is a scalar quantity not a tensor.

Joseph said:   6 years ago
Tensor is a vector quantity, so the answer should be vector.

Tensor: magnitude + direction but donot follow vector low.

As per my knowledge, stress is a tensor quantity. But please explain clearly how pressure be a tensor? Also is it correct that tensor means more than one direction?
