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 m2. The force that is exerted on the piston is (75 x Y) N. What is the value of y?​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can derive a relationship between the forces in the simple hydraulic system shown in Figure 1 by applying Pascal’s principle. Note first that the two pistons in the system are at the same height, and so there will be no difference in pressure due to a difference in depth. Now the pressure due to F1 acting on area A1 is simply

P

=

F

A

, as defined by

P

=

A

. According to Pascal’s principle, this pressure is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid and to all walls of the container. Thus, a pressure P2 is felt at the other piston that is equal to P1. That is P1 = P2. But since

P

=
