Question

in a car, compressed air exerts a force F1 on a small piston having a radius of 5cm. this pressure is transmitted to a second piston of radius 15cm.if the mass of car to be lifted is 1350kg ,what is the force F1 necessary to accomplish this task?

Answer 1

the pressure on each piston is the same:

Pressure=force/area

force2/area2=force1/area1

force1=1350*9.8N * (5/15)^2

Answer 2

5.8 × 10^5
