Body Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Body Force = Force Acting on Mass/Volume Occupied by Mass
F_b = F_m/V_m
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Body Force - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Body force refers to a type of pressure gradient that acts directly on the mass itself. This may be due to some physical parameters like acceleration due to gravity, electromagnetic field etc.
Force Acting on Mass - (Measured in Newton) - Force acting on mass is the net force acting on the whole mass due to some physical parameter like g (acceleration due to gravity), in that case the weight of the mass is the force acting on mass.
Volume Occupied by Mass - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume occupied by mass can be referred as the three dimensional space occupied by the mass on which the force is acting.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force Acting on Mass: 9.3195 Newton --> 9.3195 Newton No Conversion Required
Volume Occupied by Mass: 0.95 Cubic Meter --> 0.95 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_b = F_m/V_m --> 9.3195/0.95

Evaluating ... ...

F_b = 9.81

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.81 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.81 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Body Force

What is Body Force?

Body Force is simply a type of force per unit volume , it is referred to as the force density throughout the system . A body force is distinct from of a contact force that does not require contact for transmission. Thus, common forces such as shear forces, normal forces, are not body forces as they require contact between systems to exist. gravitational acceleration is a common type of body force.

How to Calculate Body Force?

Body Force calculator uses Body Force = Force Acting on Mass/Volume Occupied by Mass to calculate the Body Force, Body Force calculates the force acting on a mass per unit volume, it acts directly on the mass itself. This may be due to some physical parameters like acceleration due to gravity, electromagnetic field etc. Body force is expressed in N/m^3. Body Force is denoted by F_b symbol.

How to calculate Body Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Body Force, enter Force Acting on Mass (F_m) & Volume Occupied by Mass (V_m) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Body Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9.81 = 9.3195/0.95.

FAQ

What is Body Force?

Body Force calculates the force acting on a mass per unit volume, it acts directly on the mass itself. This may be due to some physical parameters like acceleration due to gravity, electromagnetic field etc. Body force is expressed in N/m^3 and is represented as F_b = F_m/V_m or Body Force = Force Acting on Mass/Volume Occupied by Mass. Force acting on mass is the net force acting on the whole mass due to some physical parameter like g (acceleration due to gravity), in that case the weight of the mass is the force acting on mass & Volume occupied by mass can be referred as the three dimensional space occupied by the mass on which the force is acting.
