Concept explainers

Pressure Vessels

The term pressure vessel refers to a closed container that contains gas or liquid at a different pressure than environment pressure. The pressure vessels have a wide scale of applications in our day-to-day lives and other industrial places. Some common examples of pressure vessels are gas cylinders, autoclaves, compressor vessels, etc.

Question

Answer in 3 decimal places

Two animals were placed on both end of a hydraulic lift system as show below. A mouse with a mass of m=9 g is placed on a smaller piston with a diameter of 10 cm. If an elephant with a mass of 4 000 kg is placed on the larger piston, how wide should the diameter of the larger piston be so that pressures at both ends are equal?
