Calculate the pressure exerted on a surface of 0.5 m 2 by a thrust of 100 kgf.

Given: Thrust = 100 kgf Area = 0.5 m 2 Pressure = ? So Pressure = 200 kgf m -2 .

Given:
Thrust = 100 kgf
Area = 0.5 m²
Pressure = ?

$\text{Pressure}= \dfrac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Area}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{100}}{\text{0.5}} \\[1em] = 200 \text{ kgf m}^{-2}$

So Pressure = 200 kgf m^{-2^.}
