I have a clinder full of oil with 4000N presing down on it between the weight and oil ther is 0.02^2


what is the presure of the oil in Pa?

42

You're in Canadada, why do you want to know what the pressure would be in Pennsylvania?

WTF are you talking about

pressure = Force/Area

wtf is 0.02^2????????


Speak english mother fucker

here, let me help you out (cause i am sure you would spell it wrong) (http://www.hop.com/index.jhtml;jsessionid=KAXTDFZJ4ZNKZQFIZBSCFEWAVDE MQIV0?flashTest=true)

pressure in a liquid is distributed equally throughout... whats the .o2^2... is that viscosity? can u write the whole quesiton word for word

I'm not sure what you're trying to calculate with those numbers, but use this to figure out what your trying to acheive:

calculate the area of the internals of your vessel and then dived that into the wieght/force applied on top.

You've also have to consider at what point are you measuring the pressure. If your measuring at the top, then the pressure will be less than it is at the bottom.

Also, you can apply pressure at the bottom and your pressure will not be as high at the top as it is at the bottom.

the answer is 200,000N/m^2 assuming .02 is really .02m^2

how did you get that :eek:

Can't help with the math, but I can help with the spelling.......

Hydrolic = Hydraulic ;) :flipoff2:

It is Force divided by area. So i assumed that your force is 4000N (as given) and the area is .02 meters squared. Simply divide.

no to be a jerk, but that seems to be a simple plug and chug as it is written

thanks


hmmm so simple

I never tryed the F/A thought ide get a smaller number :rolleyes:

that .02m^2 is the area of the face of the cylinder where the force is being applied, not an area between the piston and cylinder (otherwise it would be m^3)

TRD's got it right.

F = PA can be rearranged as P = F/A

Therefore:

4000N / .02 m^2 = 200000 N/m^2

a N/m^2 is equal to a pascal so again can be rewritten as:

200000 Pa or 200 kPa

i thought Pa meant pascals... anyway when u got problems like that try to think of the problem in another way... think of standing on a beer can and then use the equation they gave u to figure out how much pressure is on the beer can. then youll at least be more interested and in my experience, put forth a lil more time+effort
