Working Principle

The Knots Per Square Inch Calculator calculates the stress or pressure exerted on a surface when a force is applied. Stress (ksi) is defined as the force (P) divided by the area (A) over which the force is distributed:

ksi = P / A

Where:

  • ksi = Stress in Kilo-pounds per square inch
  • P = Force applied in pounds
  • A = Area in square inches

This calculator is particularly useful in engineering and physics for determining the stress on materials, components, or structures under load. It helps in ensuring that materials are used within safe limits and can be used for designing structures, mechanical components, and other applications where understanding the distribution of forces is critical.
