Answer

Pressure increase $=1.1\times10^{5}$ $Pa$

Work Step by Step

The pressure increase is equal to the external pressure applied on the fluid. And we have, $Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$ Area of syringe’s circular piston $=\pi r^{2}$ $=3.14\times (1.1)^{2}=3.8$ $cm^{2} =3.8\times10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$ Substituting the known values and solving the above equation gives: $Pressure=\frac{42}{3.8\times10^{-4}}$ $Pressure=1.1\times10^{5}$ $Pa$
