Pressure From Weight Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Pressure From Weight.
P = W / A
- Where P is the Pressure From Weight (Pa)
- W is the total weight (N)
- A is the total area (m^2)
How to Calculate Pressure From Weight?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Pressure From Weight.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total weight (N). In this example, the total weight (N) is given as 200.
- Next, determine the total area (m^2). For this problem, the total area (m^2) is given as 5.
- Finally, calculate the Pressure From Weight using the equation above:
P = W / A
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
P = 200 / 5 = 40 (Pa)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
total weight (N) = 350
total area (m^2) = 6
Entering these values yields:
P = 350 / 6 = 58.333 (Pa)
