Question

The figures below show piston containers with equal cross-sectional areas that contain different volumes of gas. The gases are the same and are at the same temperature. The pistons, which are free to move, are supporting various weights. Rank these arrangements, from greatest to least, on the basis of the pressure of the gas in each container. Greatest 1 ______ 2_______ 3________ 4_______ 5______ 6_________ Least Or, all the containers have the same pressure._______ Or, it is not possible to compare these pressures without knowing more.________

Explanation / Answer

Pressure P= F/A

Area is same everywhere. Hence the pressure should be ranked by the the forces applied

Greatest F=D>A=B> C=E Least

F and D are greatest ,. A=B, and C and E are least
