A piston having a cross sectional area of 0.07m is located in a cylinder containing water as shown in the Figure 1. An open U-tube manometer is connected to the cylinder as shown. For h1=60mm and h=100 mm, what is the value of the applied force, P, acting on the piston? The weight of the piston is negligible.

The value that appliedforceacting on the piston is 892.71 N.How to calculate the applied force?=mercury density= 13600 kg/m^3=water density= 1000 kg/m^3h = height of mercury = 100 mm or 0.1 m= height of water = 60 mm or 0.06mA = piston area = 0.07mFirst, we can calculate the total ofpressureon the piston which is equal topressureof mercury cylinder subtract the pressure of water cylinder.ΔP =*g*h -*g*= 13600*9.81*0.1 - 1000*9.81*0.06= 12753Then, we multiply the total pressure by area to calculate theforceon the piston. So,P = ΔP * A= 12753 * 0.07= 892.71 NThus, the force on piston is 892.71 N.You question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was(image attached)Learn more aboutforcehere:brainly.com/question/28012687#SPJ4...
