Question

Complete the following ---

Area of piston A: 0.01m^2
Force applied on piston A: 6N
Pressure in the liquid: ?
Area of piston B: 0.1cm^2
Force produced by piston B: ?
(note: there's a difference of m^2 and cm^2 in the areas so it's difficult for me...)

Answer 1

Answer: The force produced by piston B is 0.006 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

No problem! We can convert the area of piston B to square meters to make the units consistent:

Area of piston B = 0.1 cm^2 = 0.1 x (0.01 m/cm)^2 = 0.00001 m^2

Now we can use the formula:

pressure = force/area

For piston A, we have:

pressure = 6 N / 0.01 m^2 = 600 Pa

So the pressure in the liquid is 600 Pa.

To find the force produced by piston B, we rearrange the formula:

force = pressure x area

Using the pressure we just found and the area of piston B, we get:

force = 600 Pa x 0.00001 m^2 = 0.006 N

So the force produced by piston B is 0.006 N.
