What equals force divided by pressure?

Force divided by pressure is equal to the area over which the force is applied. This relationship is defined by the formula: Area = Force / Pressure. It describes how the force distributed over a given area affects the pressure exerted on that area.


The force on an area from the push of air is called?

The measure of the force exerted by air molecules on a surface per unit area is air pressure.


What measures the force of compression?

To measure a force, depends on how the force is applied. For example if it is a piston rod actuated by a piston, you can measure the pressure inside the cylinder containing the piston, this may be filled with gas or liquid, and calculate the force from the area of the piston/cylinder. If it is a lever system, work out the mechanical advantage of the levers and multiply by the actuating force, probably obtained as above. You can also measure force directly using a strain gauge between the applying force and the object.


Does the frictional force depends on the contact area?

The contact area hardly affects the frictional force. The frictional force depends on the normal force, and the coefficient of friction, which is a property you have to look up (or measure) for every pair of materials.


Why does the area of hydraulic cylinders matter?

The area of hydraulic cylinders directly affects the force produced by the cylinder. A larger area generates greater force, allowing the cylinder to move heavier loads or apply greater pressure. Properly calculating the cylinder area ensures that the hydraulic system can generate the required force for its intended application.

Where are compression fractures most common?

Compression fractures are most common along the spine involving the vertebrae. This is when a bone in the spine collapses and is most commonly found in the thoracic area of the spine.

Hi, Usually it is a nerve compression in the L4-5 Lumbar spine area.


What is alkaloid spondylitic arthritis?

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is achronic painful and often progressive condition that brought about by inflammation of the joints of the spine. It affects the joints between the vertebrae and the sacroiliac joints, i.e, the area where your spine meets your pelvis.


What its encroachment of the right and left foramina?

It's basically compression of your spine by the surrounding canal in the specific area your doctor is speaking of. Foramina, in this case, are the spaces in between your vertebrae. Encroachment is squeezing or compression of those spaces. I have bilateral bony foraminal encroachment of some of the disc spaces of my C spine. It doesn't normally bother me at all, though.

What is rocks Stress?

Stress is simply the force per unit area that is deforming the rocks, whether that is compression, extension, or shear.

The line along the length of the beam between areas of tension and compression is called the neutral layer.
