The amount of force exerted (thrust) on a surface per unit area is defined as ‘Pressure’.
or
The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
For example, a brick sitting on a surface exerts a force equal to its weight on the object it is resting on. Now we know that a rectangular brick has a wide surface and a thin surface on the sides. By changing the orientation of the brick resting on a surface, we are effectively changing the pressure acting on the surface by the same brick. See the image below for more information.
