• The force generated by a spring is given by F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the deflection of the spring. The spring of has a spring constant of 8 kN/ cm. The pressures are P1 = 5000 kPa, P2 = 10,000 kPa, and P3 = 1000 kPa. If the piston diameters are D1 = 8 cm and D2 = 3 cm, how far will the spring be deflected
