Question 6
Work in pairs and wear safety goggles. Connect a small syringe and a large syringe with plastic tubing. Half-fill the large syringe with water; fill the small syringe and tubing with water. One person slowly pushes the small piston while the other holds the large syringe. Then push the large piston so water returns to the small syringe. Swap syringes and compare how they feel.
The area of the large syringe is 5 cm². The pressure applied to it is the same as the pressure you calculated in step 13. What is the force on the large piston?
In step 13, a force of 20 N acts on a small piston of area 0.5 cm².
