Consider how you apply force in different situations.
Pressure acts in all directions in fluids.
Think about being underwater.
Calculate the thrust experienced by a 50 kg mass on a surface during free fall. How does this relate to pressure if the area in contact is 0.1 m²?
Use the definitions of thrust and pressure you've learned!
