We can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
Where the force is 50N and the area is the area of the piston, which is:
Area = π(0.4/2)^2 = 0.126m^2
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Pressure = 50N / 0.126m^2 = 396.83 Pa
Therefore, the pressure exerted on the water by the piston is approximately 396.83 Pa.
In a force pump, a force of 50N is applied on a Piston of diameter 0.4m during the down stroke. Find the pressure exerted on the water by the Piston
