Q-3. A force P of 850 N is applied to the smaller cylinder of a hydraulic jack. The area of the small piston is 15 cm² and the area of the larger piston is 150 cm². What load can be lifted on the larger piston: (a) if the pistons are of same level, (b) if the larger piston was 0.75 m below the smaller piston. The mass density of the liquid in the jack is 10³ kg/m³

Step 1
Displacement of smaller piston = 15 cm2 x 850 N/m = 10,350 N Displacement of larger piston = 150 cm2 x 850 N/m = 129,000 N Show more…

A hydraulic lift consists of a small piston with a diameter of 10.0 cm and a large piston with a diameter of 60.0 cm. If the load that needs to be raised weighs 1.25 * 10^6 N (assuming both pistons have negligible weight), determine the following quantities: Part A: The force that must be applied to the small piston. Part B: The pressure applied to the hydraulic fluid in the lift.

2. The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a diameter of 8.0 cm, and its large piston has a diameter of 40 cm. The lift raises a load of 15,000 N. Assume the pistons each have negligible weight. (a) Determine the force that must be applied to the small piston. (b) Determine the pressure applied to the fluid in the lift.
