The diameter of the large piston of a hydraulic press is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$, and the area of the small piston is $0.50 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$. If a force of $400 \mathrm{~N}$ is applied to the small piston, (a) what is the resulting force exerted on the large piston? (b) What is the increase in pressure underneath the small piston? ( $c$ ) Underneath the large piston?
Piston B has a diameter of 40.0cm and an output force of 200 N. What is the input force on piston A if the diameter of piston a is 5.0cm?

Piston A piston of small crosssectional area $a$ is used in a hydraulic press to exert a small force $\vec{f}$ on the enclosed liquid. A connecting pipe leads to a larger piston of cross-sectional area $A$ (Fig. $15-40$ ). (a) What force magnitude $|\vec{F}|$ will the larger piston sustain without FiGURE $15-40=$ moving? (b) If the small piston has Problems 22 and 23 . a diameter of $3.80 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the large piston one of $53.0 \mathrm{~cm}$, what force magnitude on the small piston will balance a $20.0 \mathrm{kN}$ force on the large piston?
