Answer:

1244 Ibf(Pounds force)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Total force on a piston when given the diameter of the bore area =

F = P × π × d²/4

P = 150 lb/sq.In

π = 3.14

d = 3.25 in

Hence,

F = 150 lb/sq.In × 3.14 × 3.25 in /4

= 4974.9375 ÷ 4

= 1243.734375 Ibf(Pounds force)

Approximately = 1244 Ibf(Pounds force)
