RE: Is it possible to convert wind MPH to lbs/square ft?
Good luck.
RE: Is it possible to convert wind MPH to lbs/square ft?
q=0.00256*V*V(MRH/33)**(2/7)
V= Wind Velocity
MRH=Mean Roof Height
and
GCp see tables 1606.2B-C and Figures 1606.2D-G
If you find this helpfull plz vote so
Cheers

Break the wind into the two components (parallel and perpendicular) and apply the two equations.
RE: Is it possible to convert wind MPH to lbs/square ft?
F (lbs/ft^2) = 0.0046V^2 where V is the velocity of the
wind in mph.
For semi circular surfaces then:
F (lbs/ft^2) = 0.0026V^2 where V is the velocity of the wind in mph.
And V^2 is "wind velocity squared...
Hope this helps.

The force is a function of the fluid properties, reletive velocity, shape and size of the object.
Right?
A lot depends on what you mean by "pressure".
What was the original purpose of the question?
