The piston of a hydraulic lift is 30cm in diameter. What is the pressure required to lift a car of mass 2250kg?
Added by Paula V.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the weight of the car. Weight is mass times gravity. The gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². So, the weight of the car is 2250kg * 9.8m/s² = 22050N (Newtons). Show more…
