Piston Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the piston force (F) is:

\[ F = P \times A \]

Where:

Piston Force (F): The force exerted by a piston as a result of pressure applied to it.
Pressure (P): The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area, measured in pascals.
Cross-Sectional Area (A): The area of the piston surface on which the pressure is applied, measured in square meters.

Let's say the pressure applied to the piston is 500,000 pascals and the cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.01 square meters. Using the formula:

\[ F = 500,000 \times 0.01 \]

We get:

\[ F = 5,000 \]

So, the piston force (\( F \)) is 5,000 newtons.
