vector quantity has a direction whereas the pressure applied is always in the direction of force hence it is not a vector...also we get a vecot by vector product of two vectors

like if answer is good

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
