Question

The air supplied to a diaphragm is 20 psig, and the diaphragm has a diameter of 6 in. how much pressure can this diaphragm apply to a plunger?

Answer 1

565.2 lbs pressure can apply to a plunger.

• The force delivered perpendicularly to an object's surface per unit area across which that force is dispersed is known as pressure. symbol: p or P.

It is given that,

The air supplied to a diaphragm is 20 psig.

Diameter is 6

Then r=3

We know that,

Area=

πr²

=(3.14×3²)

= 28.26

The formula is (3.14 ×radius of diaphragm squared) ×psig.

=( 28.26 ×20)

= 565.2 lbs of pressure.

Hence, the pressure is  565.2 lbs.
