Question

The $4$ different types of forces are acting on a wooden block, as given in the image. Identify the thrust among the given force.

• A. Only $A$ is thrust.
• B. Only $B$ is thrust.
• C. Only $A$ and $C$ are thrust
• D. Only $B$ and $D$ are thrust.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only $B$ and $D$ are thrust.

The force applied perpendicular to the surface is called thrust. From the given image, it is clear that the force $B$ and $D$ is perpendicular to two different faces of the cube. So, force $B$ and $D$ is thrust.
