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. Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston.

Answer 1

Given:-

• Pressure P = 300 Pa.

• Area A = 0.5 m²

To find :-

• Force ( F ).

We know that -

• Pressure = Force / area.

• P = F / A .

• F = P × A

• F = 300 × 0.5 A

• F = 150 N

Force exerted on the piston is 150 newton.
