Question
Consider the hydraulic lift shown in the diagram below. The fluid between occupying the entire volume between the pistons and inside the lift is incompressible. The area, Ao of the piston supporting the car in the diagram is 25.3 times larger than the area of the piston on the left.
If the two pistons are at the same elevation, what force, Fimust be applied to the piston on the left to lift a 1221 kg car?

If the two pistons are at the same elevation, what force, Fimust be applied to the piston on the left to lift a 1221 kg car?Explanation / Answer
F1/A1 = F2/A2 (Pascal Law)
Therefore
F1 = (1221*9.8)/25.3
= 472.956 N
