A1/2 inch diameter piston moves 10 inches when 30 Lbs of force is applied, how far will it move a 6 inch Diamter piston, and how much weight will this piston lift?

Answer 1

pressure is the same

30/PI*(.5)^2=forcemoved/PI(3)^2

forcemoved=30 (6)^2

So the mechanical advantage is 36

which means the large piston moves 10/36
