If the exit pressure is thrice the atmospheric pressure for a rocket A and if it is twice for rocket B, what will be the ratio of pressure thrust of rocket A to that of B?

If the exit pressure is thrice the atmospheric pressure for a rocket A and if it is twice for rocket B, what will be the ratio of pressure thrust of rocket A to that of B? Correct Answer 2

Pressure thrust is the difference between nozzle exit pressure and ambient pressure multiplied by nozzle exit area. Pe = 3Pa for rocket A Pe = 2Pa for rocket B Pressure thrust Tp = (Pe-Pa)Ae So TpA/TpB = 2Pa/Pa = 2.
