Step 2: measure the area of the top of the syringe The top of the syringe is a circle. You need to compute area for use in lead to computations of pressure valves. Start by using a ruler to measure the diameter. Estimate to the nearest .1 cm

3.60 cm

Divided by two to find the radius. Maintain significant figures

1.80 cm

Substitute the radius into the formula pie r 2 To find the area of the top of the syringe. Maintain significant figures

10.2 cm

A syringe is a simple reciprocating pump consisting of a plunger (though in modern syringes, it is actually a piston) that fits tightly within a cylindrical tube called a barrel.[2] The plunger can be linearly pulled and pushed along the inside of the tube, allowing the syringe to take in and expel liquid or gas through a discharge orifice at the front (open) end of the tube. The open end of the syringe may be fitted with a hypodermic needle, a nozzle or tubing to direct the flow into and out of the barrel. Syringes are frequently used in clinical medicine to administer injections, infuse intravenous therapy into the bloodstream, apply compounds such as glue or lubricant, and draw/measure liquids.
