Asked by Emily

Piston 1 has a diameter of 0.643 cm.
Piston 2 has a diameter of 4.59 cm. In the absence of friction, determine the force required on piston 1 necessary to support an object, m, with weight 1151 N. (Neglect the height difference between the bottom of the two pistons, and assume that the pistons are massless).

What is the magnitude of the force, F, required at the end of the handle?

ratio of areas = D1^2/D2^2 = .643^2/4.59^2 = .0196

.0196*1151 = 22.6 N
