Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:150N

Explanation:Pressure is defined as force the force acting on a unit area of a given material.

P=F/A

Making F the subject of formular,

F=PA

F= 300 * 0.5

F= 150N

Answer 2

Answer:

150 N

Explanation:

P=F/A

F=PA

F=300×0.5

F=150N
