Question

As per the definition of pressure, it is directly proportional to thrust.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

We know that, pressure is nothing but the force i.e. thrust acting per unit area. If write this in the form of an equation we get,

Pressure = $\frac{Thrust}{Area}$ or P = $\frac{F}{A}$

This shows that, for a constant area, when the force is less, pressure is also less, and when force is more, pressure also increases.
