The physics
Pressure is force concentrated on an area. The same 700 N (a standing adult) is harmless through shoe soles but devastating through a stiletto heel — one hundredth the area means one hundred times the pressure.
Tyre contact pressure: 1,500 kgf on 0.06 m²
Answer: pressure = 245,166.3 Pa (in bar 2.4517 bar, in psi 35.558 psi).
What we know
- Force: 1500 kgf = 14709.975 N (converted to the unit the formula takes)
- Contact area: 0.06 m²
Step by step
- Given
- F = 14709.975 N, A = 0.06 m²
- Formula
- P = F / A
- Substitute
- P = 14709.975 / 0.06
- Result
- P = 245,166.3 Pa
