Question

a hydraulic jack has been constructed to lift vehicles of maximum 3800N weight the area cross section of the pistons platform on which the vehicles are lifted is 380 cm .sq .calculate the maximum pressure experienced on the small piston

Answer 1

Explanation:

P=F/A

since, area is in cm³. change it into m³

Area= 380cm³= 380×10-⁶ m³

Preassure=

$p = \frac{3800}{380 \times {10}^{ - 6} }$

=10⁷ N/m² or 10⁷pa
