Thrust on Propeller Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Thrust on Propeller?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Ft=(π4)(D2)dP
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Ft=(π4)(14.56m2)3Pa
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
Ft=(3.14164)(14.56m2)3Pa
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Ft=(3.14164)(14.562)3
Next Step Evaluate
Ft=499.49815227604N
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Ft=0.49949815227604kN
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Ft=0.4995kN
