Answer:
0.25 in
Explanation:
We are given that
Pressure,P=[tex]100lb/in^2[/tex]
Force,F=5 lb
We know that
[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{F}{\pi\frac{d^2}{4}}[/tex]
Where [tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]100=\frac{5}{\pi\times \frac{d^2}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d^2}{4}=\frac{5}{100\pi}[/tex]
[tex]d^2=\frac{5\times 4}{100\pi}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{\frac{5\times 4}{100\pi}}[/tex]
[tex]d=0.25 in[/tex]
Hence, the diameter of pneumatic cylinder=0.25 in
