    Undergrad Calculating Water Pressure from Speed: A Scientific Approach

    Pardon my ignorance...the only thing I know is the speed of the water...6 knots...I have a plate 3ft sq facing that flow...How do I calculate the pressure on that plate, or any plate, in terms of psi or psf? P=1/2pv2 does not make sense to me since P, p is pressure

    Undergrad Calculating Water Pressure from Speed: A Scientific Approach

    What I really should have asked was: Since I calculate the pressure applied by a given wind speed by the following simple method:- Mph^2 * 0.0027 = psf so, is there a simple method to calculate the pressure applied by a given water speed? Thanks

    High School Calculating Wind & Water Force: Simple Methods

    To calculate the force of wind I use the following simple method: Speed in mph^2 x .0027 = psf. Anyone know of a simple method of calculating psf using the speed of water? Please.
