Solve the following problems. Show all the steps. Remember to use the correct units.
1. What is the pressure applied by
a piston that has an area of 10 cm2 and exerts a fore of 10
N?
2. A 0.7 kg mass measures 5 cm in width, 10 cm in length, and 2 cm in height. It is resting on a wooden floor.
What pressure does it exert on the floor?
If is is turned on that the 5 cm and 2 cm sides are in contact with the
floor, will the pressure on the floor be increased or decreased?
3. A container with equal sides of
10 cm is filled with 500 grams of fluid.
What is the force in newtons on the bottom of the container?
What is the density of the fluid in grams per cubic centimeters?
What is the pressure on the bottom of the container in newtons per centimenter squared?
