Learn how to use the Newton to megapascal calculator calculator and its working principles

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter the force applied in Newtons (N) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the area over which the force is applied in square meters (m²) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the pressure in megapascals (MPa).
  4. The result will be displayed in the result field.
  5. Click "Reset" to clear all input fields and start over.

Working principle

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The formula used in this calculator is:

Pressure (MPa) = Force (N) / Area (m²) × 10-6

This calculator converts the result from Pascals (Pa) to megapascals (MPa) by dividing by 1,000,000 (106). For example, if a force of 1000 N is applied over an area of 0.01 m², the pressure would be:

Pressure = 1000 N / 0.01 m² = 100,000,000 Pa = 100 MPa

Applications

This calculator can be used in various engineering and physics applications including:

  • Calculating pressure exerted by heavy objects on a surface
  • Engineering stress analysis
  • Hydraulic system calculations
  • Material science research
