Problem 124EUP
A piston, mp = 10 lbm, is fitted in a cylinder, A = 2.5 in.2, that contains a gas. The setup is in a centrifuge that creates an acceleration of 75 ft/s2. Assuming standard atmospheric pressure outside the cylinder, find the gas pressure.
ANSWER:
Solution 124 EUP
Step 1 of 1
We have to find the gas pressure in the cylinder.
The force of the gas pressure has to be equal to the force due to the centrifuge acceleration of the cylinder and the outside atmospheric pressure.
