Calculate the pressure exerted on a surface of 0.5 m2 by a thrust of 100 kgf.
Given:Thrust = 100 kgfArea = 0.5 m2Pressure = ?
Pressure=ThrustArea=1000.5=200 kgf m−2\text{Pressure}= \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{100}}{\text{0.5}} \\[1em] = 200 \text{ kgf m}^{-2}Pressure=AreaThrust=0.5100=200 kgf m−2
So Pressure = 200 kgf m-2.
