Question 1089035: What is the force in pounds exerted upwards on a piston with a diameter of 4 inches if a gauge indicates the internal pressure in the cylinder is 1000 psi? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the piston's area in square inches = pi * r^2 = (22/7) * 2^2 = 12.5664 square inches
:
internal pressure is 1000 psi, therefore
:
force in pounds = 1000 * 12.5664 = 12,566 pounds
