Help with p.s.i. impact equation based on velocity, area and mass?
Hey Everyone,
Was hoping someone knows about this, it's probably pretty basic...
I am new to this forum, so I hope this is in the right format
Does anyone know the equation to calculate the pressure exerted on an object by another moving object?
i.e. If I swing a hammer whose head is x square inches, at y feet per second, weighing z pounds, then how many p.s.i. will be exerted when it hits?
No Idea, but if anyone knows of a website that outlines this I would also appreciate it very much. I tried googling "Impact equations" and got nothing relevant.
No Idea where to start.Thanks in advance,
