Thank You
I think I can figure this out. I am going to try tomorrow with a fresh mind. You seem to have done a good job of explaining it. I just need to rest and try it again tomorrow. In the mean time I am going to join this forum and support it. I do a lot of walking and thinking
the volume I think would be BxH=V or 3.14x5inches squared=78.5
The height is 100feet or 1200 inchesx78.5=94,200sq. inches
Ok know I have the volume. The pressure at the top is 14.7 ambient pressure.
So P1 =14.7 psi and volume or V1 = 94,200 sq inches
so 14.7x94200= 1,384,740
How does...
Thank You.
Can this formula be worked out so I can see how it is done and see also the answer. If I am taught how to fish once I should be able to do it again and again on my own.
Homework Statement
How far will a piston fall down a vertical cylinder 100 feet in length? If the cylinder is 10" in diameter, the piston is 100lbs, the cylinder has a bottom and is capable of fluid isolation, filled with ambient air at 80 degrees F, at sea level, the cylinder has friction free...
