1. Thrust
2. Pressure
3. Moment of force
4. Liquid pressure
5. Turning effect of force
Answers
1.push suddenly or violently in a specified direction
2.continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
3.torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It is also referred to as the moment, moment of force, rotational force or turning effect, depending on the field of study. The concept originated with the studies by Archimedes of the usage of levers
4.Fluid pressure is a measurement of the force per unit area on a object in the fluid or on the surface of a closed container. This pressure can be caused by gravity, acceleration, or by forces outside a closed container. Since a fluid has no definite shape, its pressure applies in all directions.
5.A force may cause an object to turn about a pivot. The turning effect of a force is called the moment of the force. Moments act about a pivot in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. The anticlockwise moment acts downward on the left, and the clockwise moment acts downwards on the right
