Question

A hydraulic press for compacting powdered samples has a large cylinder which is 10.0 cm in diameter, and a small cylinder with a diameter of 2.0 cm. A lever is attached to the small cylinder as shown in Sample Hydraulic fluid 10.0 cm L L F Small cylinder 2.0 cm The sample, which is placed on the large cylinder, has an area of 4.0 cm^2. Part A What is the pressure on the sample if F = 330 N is applied to the lever? Express your answer to two significant figures.

Step 1

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. The diameter of the small cylinder is 2.0 cm, so its radius is 1.0 cm. Therefore, the area of the small cylinder is: A_small = π(1.0 cm)^2 = π cm^2 Now, we can find the pressure on the Show more…
