What is Thrust and Pressure?
Thrust is a kind of force acting on an object. An object can experience force from many directions. The force which acts on an object perpendicular to its surface is called thrust, and the effect of thrust per unit area on an object is called pressure. When an object is kept on a surface, it will exert a force on it. The effect of force on that surface depends on the area of contact with the surface. The more the area, the smaller the effect of the force (less pressure), and the smaller the area, the greater the effect of the force (more pressure).
