Question

A pressure of 10 Pa is experienced by the smaller portion of a hydraulic jack. How much force will be experienced by the other side of area 2m
?

Answer 1

Given Information:

A pressure of 10 Pa is experienced by the smaller portion of a hydraulic jack. How much force will be experienced by the other side of area 2m²?

Solution:

We have,

• Pressure(P) = 10Pa
• Area(A) = 2m²
• Force(F) = ?

We know that,

• P = F/A
• F = P × A
• F = 10 × 2
• F = 20N

Therefore, force is 20N.
