In a car piston shown above, the pressure of the compressed gas (red) is 5.00 atm . If the area of the piston is 0.0760m^2 what is the forced exerted by the gas on the piston in Newtons (N)? __ N Your answer should be rounded to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer.

Question

Answer 1

To calculate the force exerted by the gas on the piston, we can use the formula:

where:-

is the force in Newtons (N),-

is the pressure in pascals (Pa), and-

is the area in square meters (m²).First, we need to convert the pressure from atmospheres to pascals. The conversion factor is:

Given that the pressure of the compressed gas is

, we convert this to pascals:

Now, we can calculate the force:

Rounded to three significant figures, the force exerted by the gas on the piston is:

So the final answer is:
