The formula to calculate the Pressure from Weight (P) is:
\[ P = \frac{W}{A} \]
Where:
Let's say the total weight (\( W \)) is 500 N and the total area (\( A \)) is 2 m². Using the formula:
\[ P = \frac{500}{2} \]
We get:
\[ P = 250 \text{ Pa} \]
So, the Pressure (\( P \)) is 250 Pa.
Pressure from weight is the force exerted by a weight over a specific area. It is calculated by dividing the total weight by the total area. This measurement is crucial in various engineering applications, including fluid dynamics, structural analysis, and material science, as it provides a more accurate representation of the actual pressure conditions within a system.
