Explanation:
It shortens so that the tips reach faster
Answer:
x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm
Explanation:
First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

where,
k = spring constant = 3400 N/m
x = compression = ?
Therefore,
<u>x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm</u>
Answer:
b) the result we got can be termed approximation because we are neglecting the shear stress acting on the two ends of the cylinder. Here we have considered only the share stress acting on the curved surface area only.
