Question

Thrust and pressure are dimensionally similar.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

.

1. Thrust is the force acting normally on a surface.
2. The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed is known as pressure.
3. $\mathrm{Thrust}=\mathrm{Pressure}\times \mathrm{Area}$
4. $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{P}\times \mathrm{A}$
5. Thrust SI unit is newtons $\left(\mathrm{N}\right)$ whereas pressure units are $(N{m}^{-2})$
6. Thrust and force are dimensionally equal.
7. Thrust and pressure are not dimensionally equal.

Hence, The given statement “ Thrust and pressure are dimensionally similar ” is False
