Question

A force of 250 N is applied to a hydraulic jack piston that is 0.01 m in diameter. If the piston that supports the load has a diameter of 0.10 m, approximately how much mass can be lifted by the jack? Ignore any difference in height between the pistons.

Step 1

The radius is half the diameter, so the radius of the small piston is 0.01 m / 2 = 0.005 m. Therefore, the area of the small piston is π * (0.005 m)² = 0.00007854 m². Show more…
