Question

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional area of 3 cm, and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude F1 must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg= 15 kN?

Step 1

This means that a force applied to a small piston is transmitted through the fluid to a larger piston, allowing a smaller force to lift a heavier weight. Show more…
