Body Force Formula Elements

Variables
Body Force
Body force refers to a type of pressure gradient that acts directly on the mass itself. This may be due to some physical parameters like acceleration due to gravity, electromagnetic field etc.
Symbol: Fb
Measurement: Pressure GradientUnit: N/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Force Acting on Mass
Force acting on mass is the net force acting on the whole mass due to some physical parameter like g (acceleration due to gravity), in that case the weight of the mass is the force acting on mass.
Symbol: Fm
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Volume Occupied by Mass
Volume occupied by mass can be referred as the three dimensional space occupied by the mass on which the force is acting.
Symbol: Vm
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Body Force?

Body Force evaluator uses Body Force = Force Acting on Mass/Volume Occupied by Mass to evaluate the Body Force, Body Force formula is defined as the measure of the force exerted by a fluid on an object, resulting from the interaction between the fluid and the object, and is a fundamental concept in fluid mechanics, used to analyze and understand the behavior of fluids in various engineering and scientific applications. Body Force is denoted by Fb symbol.

How to evaluate Body Force using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Body Force, enter Force Acting on Mass (Fm) & Volume Occupied by Mass (Vm) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Body Force

What is the formula to find Body Force?
