Ahand-driven tire pump has a 2.50 cm diameter piston and a maximum stroke of 31.0 cm.
(a) how much work (j) do you do in one stroke if the average gauge pressure is 2.40 multiplied by 105 n/m2 (about 35 psi)? (you may consider this an isothermal process.)
(b) what average force(n) do you exert on the piston, neglecting friction and gravity?
give me the steps.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
