Question

If a 223 N force F1 is applied to the piston with the 4-cm diameter, what is the magnitude of the force F2 (in N) that can be resisted by the piston with the 10-cm diameter? Neglect the weight of the pistons.

(Assume g = 9.81 m/sec2 and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)

Explanation / Answer

P_1=P_2

P_1 = F_1/A_1

=223/ (pi*0.04^2 / 4)

=177457.76

117457.76 = F_2 / (pi*0.1^2 /4)


F_2 = 992.51 N
