Question

The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is 300 pa. The area of the piston is 0.5m2 . Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston
​

Answer 1

Answer:

150 N

Explanation:

Given :

Pressure P = 300 Pa

Area A = 0.5 m²

We're asked to find Force :

We know :

Pressure = Force / Area

P = F / A

= > F = P × A

Putting values here we get :

= > F = 300 × 0.5 N

= > F = 150 N

Therefore , force that is exerted on the piston  is 150 N !
