PRELIMINARY RESULT

Piston area5,027 mm²

Ideal extension force: 60.32 kN

Piston area
5,027 mm²
Ideal extension force
60.32 kN

Calculation detail

Formula: F = p × A

Pressure in MPa is directly multiplied by piston area in mm² to obtain force in N.

FORMULA VERIFICATION

Units, scope and reference

Reference: Pascal pressure-force relation F = pA; NIST SI prefix consistency.

Internal unit basis: MPa × mm² = N. Outputs: mm², kN.

Valid conditions: Positive pressure and bore diameter.

Limitations: Extension-side ideal force only; excludes friction/back pressure/dynamics.
