Wind Pressure Definition

Wind pressure is defined as the dynamic force per unit area that is acting on an object that is being affected by the movement of air. It is an important factor in determining the wind load on structures and is critical for engineering and safety calculations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

Wind Pressure (WP):

WP=121.225(10)2=121.225100=61.25 Pa

Wind Force (F):

F=61.252=122.5 N

The Wind Pressure (WP) is 61.25 Pa, and the Wind Force (F) is 122.5 N.
