Total Pressure on Elementary Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pressure = Specific Weight of Liquid in Piezometer*Vertical Depth*Cross-Sectional Area
p = S*D*A_cs
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Specific Weight of Liquid in Piezometer - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Liquid in Piezometer is the ratio of a body’s weight P to its volume V.
Vertical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Vertical Depth can be described as measurement of straight line perpendicularly downwards from horizontal plane.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Liquid in Piezometer: 0.75 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 0.75 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Vertical Depth: 50.2 Meter --> 50.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = S*D*A_cs --> 0.75*50.2*13

Evaluating ... ...
