Laplace's Law(Sphere)

P=2yR
Wall Tension
Radius

The relationship between wall tension and pressure in a hollow structure is related to the radius of curvature of the wall. If the structure is a sphere then:

 

P = Transmural Pressure

y = Wall Tension

R = Radius 

P=2yR

Notes

need units for wall tension?
