Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2020 Physics Question 27
Practice objective / multiple choice question 27 from the 2020 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A vertical cylindrical container has a cross‑sectional area of \(0.40\,\text{m}^2\). It is initially filled with water to a height of \(0.60\,\text{m}\) and sealed by a frictionless piston of the same cross‑section. Above the water is trapped air at atmospheric pressure \(1.00\,\text{atm}\). The piston is slowly pushed down by \(0.05\,\text{m}\), compressing the air and raising the water level by the same amount. Assuming the temperature remains constant, calculate the magnitude of the force that must be applied to the piston (in newtons). Use \(1\,\text{atm}=101.3\,\text{kPa}\).
