If you unbend a paper clip made from 1.5 millimeter diameter wire and push one end against the wall, what force must you apply to give a pressure of 120 atmospheres

Respuesta :

Answer:

The force is  [tex]F = 21.48 \ N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the wire is  [tex]d = 1.5 \ mm = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

     The  pressure is  [tex]P = 120 \ a.t.m = 120 * 101.3 *10^{3} = 12156000 Pa[/tex]

Generally the radius of the of the wire is  

     [tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]r = \frac{ 1.5 *10^{-3}}{2}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]r = 7.5 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]

The Area is evaluated as

     [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]A = 3.142 * 7.5 *10^{-4}[/tex]

=>    [tex]A = 1.7673*10^{-6} \ m^2[/tex]

Generally pressure is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P = \frac{F}{A }[/tex]

=>   [tex]F = P* A[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = 12156000 * 1.767*10^{-6}[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = 21.48 \ N[/tex]
