in a hydraulic garage the small piston has a radius of 5 cm and the large piston has radius of 15 cm what force must be applied to the small piston in order to lift a car weighting 20000 N on the large piston

Sagot :

The force applied to small piston = 2.2 x 10³ N

Further explanation

Given

a radius of 5 cm and 15 cm

weight 20000 N

Required

Force applied

Solution

Pascal Law :

F₁/A₁=F₂/A₂

A₁ = π.5²

A₂ = π.15²

F₁/ π.5² cm² = 20000/π.15² cm²

F₁ = 2222.22 N⇒2.2 x 10³ N
