Question

For a given constant pressure, thrust and area both are inversely proportional to each other.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

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 pressure, when the force is less, area is also less, and for more force, area required is also more. So the given statement is flase.
