Name the perpendicular force acts on a surface. How does it differ from pressure
Answers
Answer:
Thrust is a kind of force acting on an object. ... The force which acts on an object perpendicular to its surface is called thrust, and the effect of thrust per unit area on an object is called pressure. When an object is kept on a surface, it will exert a force on it.
Answer:
Explanation:
"Pressure” is the effect emergent from a force being distributed over an area: the area gets pressed on.
The amount of pressure is equal to the perpendicular component of the distributed force multiplied by the surface area that it is distributed over.
If the force is obliquely applied, then the pressing effect it has is still called “Pressure”. The amount of pressure is still worked out the same way.
There will also be a component of the force that is parallel to the surface… this can give rise to a special effect that has a name, like sheer or a torque, but that depends on details that are not supplied in the question.
By itself it is just called “the parallel component of the force”.
