- D.
145.71
Correct Answer
C. 194.92Explanation
The total outward force of the refrigerant against the inner wall of the cylinder can be calculated using the formula: force = pressure x area. To find the pressure, we need to convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Rankine (Rankine = Fahrenheit + 460). Then, we can use the ideal gas law equation: pressure = (R x temperature) / volume. Since the volume is not given, we can assume it to be 1 cubic inch. Plugging in the values and solving the equation, we get the pressure as 194.92 pounds per square inch (psi). Since the question asks for the force in tons of pressure, we divide the pressure by 2000 (1 ton = 2000 pounds), giving us the answer of 0.09746 tons or approximately 194.92.Rate this question:
