Answer 1

$\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \green{Question : }}}}$

The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is 400 Pa. The area of the piston is 10 m2. Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston.

$\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \green{Required \: Answer: }}}}$

$\sf{Pressure = 300 Pa}$

$\sf{Area ~of~ Cross-section = 0.5 m^2}$

Force = Pressure × Area of Cross-section

= 300 Pa × 0.5 m²

= 150 N

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How force is calculated?

➨ The formula for force says force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (a). If you have any two of the three variables, you can solve for the third. Force is measured in Newtons, mass in kilograms, and acceleration in meters per second squared ( m/s² ).

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathsf\green{ QueStioN :- }$

The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is

400 Pa. The area of the piston is 10 m2. Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston ??

$\huge\underline\mathsf\green{ AnSweR :- }$

Pressure = 400 Pa

Area of cross - section = 0.5m²

Force = pressure × Area of cross section

= 400 × 0.5 m ²

= 200 N
