A bicycle tire pump has a piston with area 0.43 In2. If a person exerts a force of 16 lb on the piston while Inflating a tire, w
1 answer:
Answer:
The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.
Explanation:
By definition, the pressure is the force exerted on the piston divided by its area. Given that, force is distributed uniformly on the piston area, the formula to determine the pressure is:
Where:
- Pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.
- Force exerted on the piston, measured in pounds.
- Piston area, measured in square inches.
If and
, the pressure produced on the air in the pump is:
The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Answer:
Recall that the electric field outside a uniformly charged solid sphere is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the sphere:
lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:
To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):
=
