Pressure Intensity in Hydrostatic Forces on Surfaces Formulas

Pressure Intensity is defined as the force exerted on a unit area. Let F be the total force that is uniformly distributed over an area A. And is denoted by P_I. Pressure Intensity is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Pressure Intensity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Pressure Intensity?

Pressure Intensity is defined as the force exerted on a unit area. Let F be the total force that is uniformly distributed over an area A. Pressure Intensity is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Pressure Intensity is always positive.

Can the Pressure Intensity be negative?

No, the Pressure Intensity, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Pressure Intensity?

Pressure Intensity is usually measured using the Kilopascal[kPa] for Pressure. Pascal[kPa], Bar[kPa], Pound Per Square Inch[kPa] are the few other units in which Pressure Intensity can be measured.
