For one stroke of the piston of the steam engine, work is performed 9160J

For one stroke of the piston of the steam engine, work is performed 9160J Determine the force acting on the piston if the stroke of the piston is 40 kg.

Initial data: A (work of the steam engine in one piston stroke) = 9160 J; L (stroke value (piston movement)) = 40 cm (0.4 m).

The force that acts on the piston of the steam engine is determined from the formula: A = F * S = F * L, whence F = A / L.

Calculation: F = 9160 / 0.4 = 22900 N (22.9 kN).

Answer: A force of 22.9 kN acts on the piston of the heat engine.
