Force = Pressure x Area
And remember, area is directly proportional to r² (where r is the radius)
Question Author
so the area would be pie1600 and the pressure would be 100?
which = 502654.8246?
You have the arithmetic correct but your final units are not the conventional ones.
I make the 80mm 11299 psi
