Solution

The correct option is B

If the force is applied on a surface in a direction normal to the surface, the force is called thrust.

The S.I. unit of Thrust is the same as that of Force,i.e, $n e w t o n$ .

Q. The force acting on a body normal to its surface is called thrust

Q. A force of 100N acts on the surface of area 10cm2 normally. What are the thrust and pressure on the surface?

Statement 1: For the same load/force acting on two different surfaces, more pressure is developed on the surface with a smaller area.
Statement 2: Pressure is defined as thrust(force acting normally to the surface) per unit area.

Q. The thrust acting on a body decreases with increase in the force applied.

Q. Assertion (A) : When a ball hits a floor obliquely and gets reflected after inelastic collision, only the vertical component of its velocity gets changed.
Reason (R) : During collision the floor exerts a force on the ball only along the normal but not parallel to the surface
