hey u just answered my question

can u tell me r u a girl

Answer 2

The pressure gauge reading will be;

12 psi

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to relationship of pressure and area

The given parameters for the measurement are;

The weight of the load = 60 lb

The required area of the piston = 5 in.²

Pressure exerted by a force can be defined as follows;

`Pressure = (Force)/(Area)`

The weight of the load = The force applied by the load

Therefore;

`Pressure = (Force)/(Area) = (60 \ lb)/(5 \ in.^2) = 12(lb)/(in.^2) = 12 \ psi`

The gauge reading will be 12 psi.
