Calculate the pressure exerted on a surface of 0.5m2 by a thrust of 100 kg.
Thrust exerted by atmospheric air on a unit area of earth's surface is called atmospheric pressure.
How does the pressure exerted by a thrust depend on the area of the surface on which it acts? Explain with a suitable example.
The pressure exerted on the surface of area 0.5 m2 due to an object placed on it is 6 x 103 Pa. Calculate the thrust is acting on the surface.
