Question

Explain with the help of an example the difference b/w the terms thrust and pressure

Answer 1

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. 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 metre squared or pascal (Pa).
