Thank you i'll have to wait till monday to see if it works.

but how did you get PatmA and P2A? is that when you substitute F/A for P

I tried that but in the end since Patm = F1/A if you have Patm which I was using 1.013x10^5 you have to multiply that times the area then divide it again by the area in the equation: Patm = f1/a = Patm*a/a = patm all over again... I even tried setting p2 = F/A and trying it that way but it...

[b]1. There is a cylinder fitted with a piston, the piston has a mass m1 of 0.50 kg and a radius of 2.50 x 10^-2 m. The top of the piston is open to the atmosphere. The pressure underneath the piston is maintained at a reduced (but constant) value by means of the pump. As shown, a rope of...
