Question
On what factors does the effect of thrust on a surface depend?
Advertisements
Solution
The effect of thrust depends on the area of the surface on which it acts. Smaller the area of the surface on which a thrust acts, larger is its effect. But the effect of a thrust is less on a larger area.
