Acceleration
Force F = AP
Friction Mf = W xf Note: Static (for breakaway) friction coefficient is greater than kinetic (or moving) friction coefficient.
Gravity g = 386.4 in. / SEC.2 (at sea level)
Horsepower HP = FU/550 = LP/1714 = TN/63,025
Mass M = W/g or, at sea level, = W/3.32, or = W(grams)/980 or W/386.4
NOTE: Mass is constant regardless of altitude.
Orifice Area See pressure drop
Pressure P = F/A (consistent units)
Pressure Drop For oil hydraulic systems, the following will approximatepressure drop thru "short orifice" (1/4 to 1/2-inch long-length not over 3 times diameter)



For specified pressure drop:


Radian Arc (of circle) = length of radius (see velocity, angular)
In degrees = 380/2π = 180/π
= 57.3°
Spring Rate
Torque T = F x r = (HP x 63.025)/N = (CU. IN. / REV. x P)/2π
Velocity - Angular Radians/SEC. = (Degrees/SEC.)/57.3
Velocity - Flow U = 0.321L/A
