Question
The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is 400 Pa. The area ofthe piston is 0.5 m2. Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston
Solution
The force exerted on the piston can be calculated using the formula:
Force = Pressure x Area
Given in the problem, the pressure (P) is 400 Pa and the area (A) is 0.5 m^2.
Substituting these values into the formula gives:
Force = 400 Pa x 0.5 m^2 = 200 N
So, the force exerted on the piston is 200 Newtons.
