5.15 Calculating Dynamic Pressure

AGK 5.15

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv2

At sea level and at 15 °C, air has a density of approximately 1.225 kg/m
100kts = 51.444m/s

Therefore: 1/2(1.225 x 51.4442) = 1621Pa
And then dividing by 100? I would achieve 16hPa

Sorry guys, I've edited this post because as i've written it here I've worked it out and edited accordingly.
Was trying to figure this out yesterday and had a cloudy head by the end of it.

Yep. 1 hPa = 100 Pa
