The pistons of a hydraulic press have radii of $2.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $12.0 \mathrm{~cm},$ respectively. (a) What force must be applied to the smaller piston to exert a force of $5250 \mathrm{~N}$ on the larger? (b) What is the pressure (in $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ ) on each piston? (c) What is the mechanical advantage of the press?

Hydraulic Principle
In a hydraulic lift, the radii of the pistons are $2.50 \mathrm{cm}$ and $10.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ A car weighing $W=10.0 \mathrm{kN}$ is to be lifted by the force of the large piston. (a) What force $F_{a}$ must be applied to the small piston? (b) When the small piston is pushed in by $10.0 \mathrm{cm},$ how far is the car lifted? (c) Find the mechanical advantage of the lift, which is the ratio $W T F_{\alpha^{*}}$
