Problem

Pressure gages, such as the Bourdon gage in Fig. P2.4, are calibrated with a deadweight piston. If the Bourdon gage is designed to rotate the pointer 10 degrees for every 2 psig of internal pressure, how many degrees does the pointer rotate if the piston and weight together total 44 newtons?
