Question
In a hydraulic piston set up, one circular piston has a diameter of 2 cm,while the other piston has a diameter of 6cm. Calculate the ratio of the force exerted by the larger piston to the force applied to the smaller piston?
Answers
The force ratio is the area ratio, since both pistons experience the same pressure.
