Pressure increase when 43 N force is applied to a 1.1 cm radius syringe plunger

[Jrlinton]

Homework Statement

Find the pressure increase in the fluid in a syringe when a nurse applies a force of 43 N to the syringe's circular piston, which has a radius of 1.1 cm.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

So the answer should just be the force multiplied by the area of the plunger, no?
43N*pi*0.011m^2
0.016346 Pa
