Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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
