Question

If the small piston has an area of .004 square

meters and Bob pushes down on it with 225 N of
force, what is the magnitude of the pressure
increase in the system?

Answer 1

The magnitude of the pressure : P = 56,250 N/m

Further explanation

Given

Area of 0.004 m²

Force 225 N

Required

the magnitude of the pressure

Solution

Pressure = force exerted per unit of surface area(perpendicular)

Can be formulated :

P = F/A

Input the value :

P = 225 N / 0.004 m

P = 56,250 N/m
