Pressure
For a static fluid, the only stress is the normal stress since
by definition a fluid subjected to a shear stress must deform
and undergo motion. Normal stresses are referred to as
pressure p.

For a static fluid, the shear stress is zero and the only stress
is the normal stress, i.e., pressure p. Recall that p is a
scalar, which when in contact with a solid surface exerts a
normal force towards the surface.
