Maximum Mass Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Maximum Mass.
Mmax = S * A / 9.81
- Where Mmax is the Maximum Mass (kg)
- S is the maximum stress (N/m^2)
- A is the total surface area (m^2)
How to Calculate Maximum Mass?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Maximum Mass.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the maximum stress (N/m^2).
- The maximum stress (N/m^2) is given as: 425.
- Next, determine the total surface area (m^2).
- The total surface area (m^2) is provided as: 30.
- Finally, calculate the Maximum Mass using the equation above:
Mmax = S * A / 9.81
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
Mmax = 425 * 30 / 9.81 = 1299.69 (kg)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
maximum stress (N/m^2) = 785
total surface area (m^2) = 65
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Mmax = S * A / 9.81 = ?
