Question

Calculate the pressure exerted on the piston of area 154m2 when a car weighing 2400N is placed on it.

Answer 1

Area of the piston = 154 sq.m.

Force applied over it = Weight = 2400 N

Hence, pressure = 2400/154 pa = 15.58 pa (approx.)

N.B. Remember that the force applied is the weight itself as it is the product of gravitational force and mass.

HOPE THIS COULD HELP!!!

Answer 2

p =2400/154 =

$2400 \div 154$
