What is the pressure in the chamber of a car wheel if a force of 240 N acts on a piston

What is the pressure in the chamber of a car wheel if a force of 240 N acts on a piston with an area of 12 cm2 uniformly moving in an air pump.

S = 12 square centimeters – piston area;

F = 240 Newton – force acting on the piston.

It is required to determine P (Pascal) – the pressure in the wheel chamber.

Let’s convert square centimeters to square meters:

S = 12 cm ^ 2 = 12 * 0.0001 = 0.0012 m ^ 2.

Then the pressure will be equal to:

P = F / S = 240 / 0.0012 = 200000 Pascal = 200 kPa.

Answer: the air pressure in the wheel chamber is 200 kPa.
