Question

Define thrust and give units

Answer 1

Answer:

The force applied on any surface in a direction perpendicular or normal to the surface is called thrust.

When a body is placed on horizontal surface, it exerts a thrust equal to its weight on the surface.

Unit of thrust :-

SI unit - Newton

Other unit - g-wt or kg-wt

Answer 2

Answer:

The force acting on a body perpendicular to its surface is called thrust. The SI unit of thrust is newton (N)

Force, and thus thrust, is measured using the International System of Units (SI) in newtons (symbol: N), and represents the amount needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second per second.
