Question

A piston exerts a force of 2,500 newtons on liquid in a cylindrical container. If the pressure on the top of the liquid is 12.5 kilopascals, find the area of the surface of the liquid, in square meters. ? please help

Answer 1

Here are the choices.

A. 200 m
B. 31.25 m
C. 0.2 m
D. 5 m

Pa = N/m²
m² = N/Pa

12.5 kPa = 12500 Pa

m² = N/Pa
m² = 2500 / 12500
m² = 0.2

C. 0.2 m²

So the correct answer is 0.2m^2
