Problem

Which one of the following statements is incorrect? a) Thrust is always perpendicular to the surface on which it acts. b) Pascal is defined as one newton per square metre (1 Pa=1 N m−2)\left(1\,\text{Pa}=1\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-2}\right). c) The SI unit of thrust is pascal (Pa). d) Pressure exerted by a fluid at rest increases with depth.
Intuitive explanation

The core concept here is identifying false claims about chemical properties and behavior. Rather than calculating or deriving something, you need to evaluate each statement against what you know about bonding, structure, reactivity, and thermodynamics. The key insight is to think critically about why each statement is true or false—what fundamental principle does it violate or support?
