Question

5 difference between thrust and pressure

Answer 1

Difference between thrust and pressure

Explanation:

THRUST :

1. Thrust is the force that a body exerts perpendicularly on a surface.
2. Its SI unit is newton (N)
3. It is numerically equal to the weight of the object.
4. It is just a force which is used to propule the jet engines
5. Thrust is a force is a vector quantity.

PRESSURE :

1. The thrust on an unit area of surface is called pressure. thus , pressure is ratio of thrust / force to the area.
2. Its SI unit is newton per meter squared or pascal (Pa).
3. It always exist in a closed system.
4. The effect of the force depend on the area of the object an which it act.
5. pressure is a scalar quantity.
