The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with movable piston is 300pa. The area of the piston is 0.5m^2. Calculate the force exerted on the piston

Open in App

Solution

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area, that is,
$P = \frac{F}{A} o r, F = P A$
On substituting the values we get,
$F = (300 P a) \times (0.5 m^{2}) F = 150 P a / m^{2}$
