A force of 3 kN acts on a support with an area of 600 cm.Calculate how big is the pressure?

To calculate the pressure on the used support, we will use the formula: P = F / S.

Values of variables: F – force value (F = 3 kN = 3000 N); S is the area of the support used (S = 600 cm2 = 600 * 10 ^ -4 m2).

Let’s perform the calculation: P = F / S = 3000 / (600 * 10 ^ -4) = 50 * 10 ^ 3 Pa (50 kPa).

Answer: A pressure of 50 kPa has been created on the used support.
