Load on Gland Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Load on Gland?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

F Gland = (\frac{π}{4}) \cdot p \cdot ({d sb}^{2} - {d shaft}^{2})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

F Gland = (\frac{π}{4}) \cdot 0.3N/mm² \cdot ({70mm}^{2} - {12mm}^{2})

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

F Gland = (\frac{3.1416}{4}) \cdot 0.3N/mm² \cdot ({70mm}^{2} - {12mm}^{2})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

F Gland = (\frac{3.1416}{4}) \cdot 300000Pa \cdot ({0.07m}^{2} - {0.012m}^{2})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

F Gland = (\frac{3.1416}{4}) \cdot 300000 \cdot ({0.07}^{2} - {0.012}^{2})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

F Gland = 1120.60609953548N

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

F Gland = 1120.6061N
