Equal pressure in a hydraulic system enters two cylinders. The piston in cylinder number 1 is 2 inches in diameter, and the piston in cylinder 2 has a 2 inch radius. Which piston can move a heavier load?
Added by Coltin A.
Step 1
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. For cylinder 1: The diameter of the piston is 2 inches, so the radius is 2 inches / 2 = 1 inch. The area of the piston in cylinder 1 is A1 = π(1 inch)^2 = π square Show more…
