To calculate the force transmitted to the piston rod, we can use the formula:
Force = Pressure x Area
Given:
Pressure = 2200 psi
Area = 12 in^2
Plugging the values into the formula:
Force = 2200 psi x 12 in^2
Force = 26400 lbs
Therefore, the force transmitted to the piston rod connected to the piston head is 26400 lbs.
Detonation in a gas cylinder creates 2200 psi pressure on an inserted piston head having area of 12 in2. What is the force transmitted to a piston rod connected to the piston head?
