Question

The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a removable piston is 450 Pa ( 450/m^2 ) the area of the piston is 0.3 m^2 . What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the piston by the gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

The magnitude of the force exerted on the piston by the gas is 135 N

Explanation:

The pressure of the gas, P = 450 Pa

The area of the piston, A = 0.3 m²

The force exerted on the piston by the gas is given as:

F = PA

F = 450 x 0.3

F = 135 N

The magnitude of the force exerted on the piston by the gas is 135 N
