Question
A1/2 inch diameter piston moves 10 inches when 30 Lbs of force is applied, how far will it move a 6 inch Diamter piston, and how much weight will this piston lift?
Answers

pressure is the same
30/PI*(.5)^2=forcemoved/PI(3)^2
forcemoved=30 (6)^2
So the mechanical advantage is 36
which means the large piston moves 10/36
30/PI*(.5)^2=forcemoved/PI(3)^2
forcemoved=30 (6)^2
So the mechanical advantage is 36
which means the large piston moves 10/36
