Question 9

How much thrust will be required to exert a pressure of 20,000 Pa on an area of 1 cm2?

Answer

Given:
Pressure = 20000 Pa
Area = 1 cm2 = 110000\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{10000}} = 0.0001 m2 or 10-4 m2
Thrust = ?

Pressure = ThrustArea\dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}}
Thrust = Pressure x Area
= 20000 x 10-4
= 2 N

So Thrust = 2 N.
