Question

a car weighing 15,000 N is on a hydraulic lift platform measuring 10 m squared. What is the area of the smaller piston if a force of 1,100 N is used to lift the car?
In the case of a hydraulic lift, the pressure is (almost) identical, so that Force/area is a constant, where area is the area of the respective piston.
