Average Pressure given Actuating Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Pressure on Brake = Actuating Force on Brake/Area of Brake Pad
P_a = F/A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Average Pressure on Brake - (Measured in Pascal) - Average Pressure on brake is defined as the normal force acting per unit area onto the brakes.
Actuating Force on Brake - (Measured in Newton) - Actuating Force on Brake is defined as the amount of force required to actuate the braking mechanism.
Area of Brake Pad - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Brake Pad is the actual area of the brake pad that we are using in a disk brake or a drum brake.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actuating Force on Brake: 11000 Newton --> 11000 Newton No Conversion Required
Area of Brake Pad: 5500 Square Millimeter --> 0.0055 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_a = F/A --> 11000/0.0055

Evaluating ... ...

P_a = 2000000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2000000 Pascal -->2 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2 Megapascal <-- Average Pressure on Brake

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
