A block of iron of mass 7.5 kg and of dimensions 12 cm x 8 cm x 10 cm is kept on a table top on its base of side 12 cm x 8 cm.
Calculate : Thrust
Take 1 kgf= 10 N

Explanation

To calculate the thrust exerted by the block of iron on the tabletop, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Thrust
Thrust is the force exerted by an object due to its weight. In this case, the thrust will be equal to the weight of the block of iron.

### Step 2: Calculate the Weight of the Block
The weight (W) of the block can be calculated using the formula:
\[ W = m \times g \]
