If a 60 lb. load is placed on the platform, what will the pressure gauge reading be if the piston area is 5 sq. in? Give your answer in psi.
Help Please

The pressure gauge reading will be;

12 psi

Explanation:

The question relates to relationship of pressure and area

The given parameters for the measurement are;

The weight of the load = 60 lb

The required area of the piston = 5 in.²

Pressure exerted by a force can be defined as follows;

The weight of the load = The force applied by the load

Therefore;

The gauge reading will be 12 psi.
