Wind Pressure on Transmission Line Calculator

Wind Pressure on Transmission Line Calculator

Calculate the wind pressure using:
\[ q = 0.5\,\rho\,V^2 \] where \( \rho \) is the air density and \( V \) is the wind speed.

* Enter the wind speed in m/s and the air density in kg/m³ (default is approximately 1.225 kg/m³ at sea level).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 10 m/s

Example: 1.225 kg/m³ (sea level)

Derived Formula: \( q = 0.5\,\rho\,V^2 \)


Practical Example:
For a wind speed of 10 m/s and air density of 1.225 kg/m³:
\( q \approx 0.5 \times 1.225 \times 10^2 \approx 61.25\,\text{Pa} \).
