thrust and pressure in difference
Answers
Answer:
Thrust is the total force applied. Pressure is the force applied per unit area. Let me explain the difference using an example. ... In contrast when you are wearing heels, the same force is distributed over a smaller area.
Thrust is a force or a push. When a system pushes or accelerates mass in one direction, there is a thrust (force) just as large in the opposite direction. In math and physics, this is described by Isaac Newton’s second and third laws. Thrust is used to describe how strongly an engine pushes. It can be used for many kinds of vehicles and engines such as rockets, motorboats, propellers, and jet engines.
Thrust is measured in “pounds of thrust” in the U.S. and in newtons in the metric system. 4.45 newtons of thrust equals 1 pound of thrust. A pound of thrust is how much thrust it would take to keep a one-pound object unmoving against the force of gravity on earth.
Pressure is force applied is perpendicular to the surface of objects per unit area. The basic formula for pressure is F/A (Force per unit area). Unit of pressure is Pascals (Pa). Types of Pressures are Absolute, Atmospheric, Differential, and Gauge Pressure.
In SI base units: 1 N/m2, 1 kg/(m·s2), or 1 J/m3
Derivations from other quantities: p = F / A
