△ Calculate the weight of the aluminum cylinder.
○ Calculate the mass of the cylinder
☼ The volume of the cylinder is \( V = \pi r^2 h = \pi \times (0.1 \, \text{m})^2 \times 0.2 \, \text{m} = 0.002\pi \, \text{m}^3 \approx 0.00628 \, \text{m}^3 \). The mass is \( m = \rho V = 2700 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times 0.00628 \, \text{m}^3 = 16.96 \, \text{kg} \).
○ Calculate the weight
☼ The weight is \( P = mg = 16.96 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{N/kg} = 169.6 \, \text{N} \).
✧ The weight of the cylinder is 169.6 N.
△ Determine the force exerted by the table on the cylinder.
○ Apply Newton's third law
☼ The force exerted by the table on the cylinder is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the cylinder, which is 169.6 N upward.
✧ The force exerted by the table on the cylinder is 169.6 N upward.
△ Determine the intensity of the force exerted by the cylinder on the table.
○ Apply Newton's third law
☼ The force exerted by the cylinder on the table is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the table on the cylinder, which is 169.6 N downward.
✧ The force exerted by the cylinder on the table is 169.6 N downward.
△ Calculate the pressure exerted by the cylinder on the table.
○ Calculate the area of the base of the cylinder
☼ The area is \( A = \pi r^2 = \pi \times (0.1 \, \text{m})^2 = 0.01\pi \, \text{m}^2 \approx 0.0314 \, \text{m}^2 \).
○ Calculate the pressure
☼ The pressure is \( P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{169.6 \, \text{N}}{0.0314 \, \text{m}^2} = 5401.3 \, \text{Pa} \approx 5.4 \, \text{kPa} \).
✧ The pressure exerted by the cylinder on the table is 5.4 kPa.
△ Calculate the new pressure when a coin is placed between the cylinder and the table.
○ Calculate the area of the coin
☼ The radius of the coin is 0.01 m, so the area is \( A_{\text{coin}} = \pi r^2 = \pi \times (0.01 \, \text{m})^2 = 0.0001\pi \, \text{m}^2 \approx 0.000314 \, \text{m}^2 \).
○ Calculate the new pressure
☼ The new pressure is \( P_{\text{new}} = \frac{169.6 \, \text{N}}{0.000314 \, \text{m}^2} = 540127.4 \, \text{Pa} \approx 540.1 \, \text{kPa} \).
✧ The new pressure with the coin between the cylinder and the table is 540.1 kPa.
