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

1 answer

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.
