Four different cylindrical pistons, W, X, Y, and Z, in an experimental engine block are subjected to different gas forces. The force applied to each piston and its cross-sectional dimension are shown in the table:

PistonApplied forceDimension
W150 NRadius = 5.0 mm
X240 NDiameter = 12.0 mm
Y80 NRadius = 3.0 mm
Z400 NDiameter = 16.0 mm

Which piston experiences the greatest pressure?
