Maximum Force Calculator:
Enter the values of yield strength, YS(N/ m2) and cross-sectional area, A(m2) to determine the value of Maximum Force, MF(N).
Maximum Force Formula:
Maximum force is defined as the greatest force that a material or structure can withstand before failing or deforming permanently. It is calculated based on the yield strength of the material and the cross-sectional area of the structure or component.
Force, MF(N) in Newtons, is calculated by multiplying the yield strength, YS(N/ m2) in Newtons per metre squared by the cross-sectional area, A(m2) in metre squared.
Maximum Force, MF(N) = YS(N/ m2) * A(m2)
MF(N) = maximum force in Newtons, N.
YS(N/ m2) = yield strength in Newtons per metre squared, N/ m2.
A(m2) = cross-sectional area in metres squared, m2.
Maximum Force Calculation:
1.A steel beam with a yield strength of 250 N/m2has a cross-sectional area of 100 m2. Calculate the maximum force it can withstand before deforming.
Given: YS(N/ m2) = 250N/m2, A(m2) = 100m2.
Maximum Force, MF(N) = YS(N/ m2) * A(m2)
MF(N) = 250 * 100
MF(N) = 25000N.
2The maximum force that a steel beam can withstand is 15,000 Newtons, and its yield strength is 300 N/m2, calculate the cross-sectional area.
Given: YS(N/ m2) = 300N/m2, MF(N) = 15000N.
Maximum Force, MF(N) = YS(N/ m2) * A(m2)
A(m2) = MF(N) / YS(N/ m2)
A(m2) = 15000 / 300
A(m2) = 50m2.
