Question

How is pressure related to the thrust exerted on a surface?

Answer 1

Thrust : Force exerted by an object perpendicular to the surface is called thrust.

Pressure : Force exerted by any object per unit area is called pressure.

∴Pressure= Force × Area

Or, Pressure= Thrust × Area

Or, p = F × ar ....(i)

Where, p is pressure, F is thrust or force and A is the surface area of the object.

Thus pressure is related to the thrust exerted on a surface area.

Answer 2

Explanation:

thin boy is standing on Brick kept on a bed exit some pressure due to his weight a fat boy standing on the same brick kept on the bed in this case the pressure exerted by the fat boy is more due to his excess weight does greater The thrust on the surface more is the pressure on it while smaller the trust on the surface less is the pressure on it
