Question

If 100 psi of working pressure is applied to a 2 square inch output
piston, how much force will be created?
Select one:
O A. 50 lb
O B. 100 lb
O C. 200 lb
O D. 400 lb

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the pressure is given by:

$P = \frac {F} {A}$

Where:

F: It is the force applied

A: It is the area where the force is applied

By definition, we have to:

$1 \ psi = 1 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2}$

According to the data of the statement we have:

$P = 100 \ psi\\A = 2 \ in ^ 2$

Substituting we have:

$F = P * A\\F = 100 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2} * 2 \ in ^ 2\\F = 200 \ lb$

Answer:

Option C

Answer 2

The amount of force that will be created by applying the given pressure is equal to: C. 200 lb

Given the following data:

• Pressure = 100 psi

• Area = 2 square inch

To determine the amount of force that will be created by applying the given pressure:

Mathematically, the pressure acting on an area is given by the formula:

$Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}$

Making force the subject of formula, we have:

$Force = Pressure \times Area$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Force = 100 \times 2$

Force = 200 lb.
