Question

Two cylindrical vessels fitted with pistons A and B of area of cross-section 8 cm2 and 320 cm2 respectively, are joined at their bottom by a tube and they are completely filled with water. When a mass of 4kg is placed on piston A, find : (i) the pressure on piston A, (ii) the pressure on piston B, and (iii) the thrust on piston B​

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure on A=5×10^4 N/m^2

force on B = 160N

pressire on B =5×10^4 N/m^2

thrust on B = 160N
