Calculate Normal Stress (N/m²)



Formula

The formula to calculate Normal Stress (NS) is:

\[ NS = \frac{NF}{A} \]

Where:

Normal Stress Definition

Normal Stress is the stress that occurs perpendicular to the surface. It is calculated by dividing the normal force by the area of contact.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Normal Stress (NS):

\[ NS = \frac{1000}{2} = 500 \text{ N/m²} \]

The Normal Stress is 500 N/m².
