In a hydraulic system, a 100.-newton force is applied to a small piston with an area of 0.0020 m2 . What pressure, in pascals, will be transmitted in the hydraulic system?

Respuesta :

The pressure is the force divided by the area to which the force is applied, so in this problem it is equal to:
[tex]p= \frac{F}{A}= \frac{100 N}{0.0020 m^2}=5 \cdot 10^4 Pa [/tex]

Answer:

5 × 10^4 Pa

Explanation:

pressure is defined as a measure of force exerted on a surface per unit square. the formula for pressure is force per unit area

Pressure= [tex]\frac{Force}{area}[/tex]

P=[tex]\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

F=100N

A=0.0020m²

∴P=[tex]\frac{100}{0.0020}[/tex]

P=5×10⁴N/m²

1N/m² = 1Pa

∴5×10⁴N/m² = 5×10⁴Pa

pressure in pascals transmitted in the hydraulic system -5×10⁴Pa
