Question

In the process of changing a flat tire , a motorist uses a hydraulic jack. She begins applying a force of F1=8.6N to the input piston. As a result, the output plunger applies a force of F2=305N to the car. The height difference between the input piston and the output plunger can be neglected. What is the ratio A2/A1 of the plunger and piston areas?
