Question
The small piston of a hydraulic lift (Fig. P14.8) has a cross sectional area of $3.00 \mathrm{cm}^{2},$ and its large piston has a cross sectional area of $200 \mathrm{cm}^{2} .$ What downward force of magnitude $F_{1}$ must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is $F_{g}=15.0 \mathrm{kN} ?$(FIGURE CANT COPY)
Step 1
We know that the pressure in a fluid is given by the equation $P = \frac{F}{A}$, where $P$ is the pressure, $F$ is the force, and $A$ is the cross-sectional area. Show more…
