The relation between thrust (T), pressure (P) and area (A) of an object in a given medium is __________.
T = P × A
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. T = P × A.
- The relation between thrust (T), pressure (P), and area (A) is T = P × A.
- In this formula, pressure (P) is defined as force per unit area, making pressure (P) a measure of how much force is applied over a given area.
- Thrust (T) represents the total force exerted perpendicular to a surface. When the area (A) increases while pressure (P) remains constant, the thrust (T) proportionally increases.
- This relation is fundamental in understanding how fluids exert forces on surfaces.
- The SI unit of pressure (P) is Pascal (Pa), and of thrust (T) is Newton (N).
