1-108 A pressure cooker cooks a lot faster than an ordinary
pan by maintaining a higher pressure and temperature inside.
The lid of a pressure cooker is well sealed, and steam can
escape only through an opening in the middle of the lid. A
separate metal piece, the petcock, sits on top of this opening
and prevents steam from escaping until the pressure force
overcomes the weight of the petcock. The periodic escape of
the steam in this manner prevents any potentially dangerous
pressure buildup and keeps the pressure inside at a constant
value. Determine the mass of the petcock of a pressure
cooker whose operation pressure is 100 kPa gage and has an
opening cross-sectional area of 4 mm². Assume an atmo-
spheric pressure of 101 kPa, and draw the free-body diagram
of the petcock. Answer: 40.8 g
