Distinguish between Thrust and Pressure.

Open in App

Solution

Thrust Pressure
1.The force exerted by the body perpendicular to the surface is known as thrust. 1. Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.
2. SI unit of thrust is newton (N) 2. If a force F is applied on a surface of area A, then the pressure P is defined as P= $\frac{F}{A}$ , Hence the unit of pressure is $N m^{- 2}$
3. It is a vector quantity. 3. It is a scalar quantity.
