R1^2/R2^2 = 2180/73.6
so
sqrt (2180/73.6)
A dentist's chair with a patient in it weighs 2180 N. The output plunger of a hydraulic system begins to lift the chair, when the dentist's foot applies a force of 73.6 N to the input piston. Neglect any height difference between the plunger and the piston. What is the ratio of the radius of the plunger to the radius of the piston?
