    Answer: 5152118.6 Newton

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Area of the piston = 0.0590 m^2

    Force exerted by the gas = ?

    Pressure of compressed gas = 3.00 atm

    Since force is required in Newton, 3.00 atm must be converted to Newton per metre square.

    If then, 1 atm = 101325 N/m2

    3.00atm = (3 x 101325 N/m2)

    = 303975 N/m2

    Then, recall that

    Force (in Newton) = pressure / Area

    Force = (303975 N/m2 ➗ 0.0590 m^2)

    Force = 5152118.6 N

    Thus, 5152118.6 Newton of force is exerted by the gas on the piston.
