The key is to identify all the forces exerted by the water on the various internal surfaces of the double- piston. Note that the small...

Check your working. I get ##T=\frac{-5a+300}{4}##. I don't know if this is the only mistake. As @kuruman says, the preferred approach...

Yes, thank you Steve4Physics, my mistake was using the wrong value for cos 110 degrees.

##\cos (110^{\circ})## is negative so you can tell that ##1 - \cos (110^{\circ})## will be greater than 1. (I haven't checked if that...
