To calculate the load force (\(LF\)):
\[ LF = m \times a \]
Where:
Load force is a measurement of how much weight is applied to a surface. A load force can result from a physical push or the weight of an object on a shelf or in water. The SI unit for load force is Newton, abbreviated as N. To determine an accurate load force, all forces and factors must be considered. For example, when calculating the load force on a shelf that holds several books, you would need to measure the weight of each book individually and then calculate the total weight of all books together. You also need to consider any outside forces, such as gravity or friction.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ LF = 10 \times 9.81 = 98.10 \text{ N} \]
The load force is 98.10 N.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ LF = 25 \times 9.81 = 245.25 \text{ N} \]
The load force is 245.25 N.
