Homework Statement
Estimate the stress in the piston rod (6 cm in
diameter) [MPa] and the elongation of the 1 m long piston rod [cm] under these static
condition. Since these are external to the fraction, steel is often used, as in this case.
Relevant Equations
delta(l)=F*l/E*A
E for steel is 200 MPa
A=pi*r^2
I am really just totally stuck. I think you need to find force being applied onto the rod but I cannot figure that out

Right, and you are given a pressure and an area.
