Gce Model Questions Vol1 2023 Physics Question 39
Practice objective / multiple choice question 39 from the 2023 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A vertical cylindrical tank of cross‑sectional area \(A = 0.5\,\text{m}^{2}\) is open to the atmosphere. Water is pumped in until the water level rises \(3.0\,\text{m}\) above its initial level. The tank is then sealed by a frictionless piston of negligible mass that rests on the water surface. Given atmospheric pressure \(p_{atm}=1.01\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}\), water density \(\rho = 1000\,\text{kg m}^{-3}\) and \(g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}\), calculate (a) the absolute pressure exerted on the piston and (b) the force acting on the piston.
