The formula to calculate the Ground Pressure (GP) is:
\[ GP = \frac{m \times g}{CA} \]
Where:
Ground pressure is the pressure exerted on the ground by the weight of an object. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity and then dividing by the ground contact area. Ground pressure is typically measured in Newtons per square meter (N/m²) and is an important factor in determining the impact of vehicles, machinery, and structures on the ground surface.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Ground Pressure (GP):
\[ GP = \frac{1000 \times 9.81}{2} = 4905 \text{ N/m²} \]
The Ground Pressure (GP) is 4905 N/m².
