Question

In a hydraulic lift the surface area of the input piston is 10 cm square the surface area of the output piston is 3000 cm square a 100 N force applied to the input piston raises the output piston calculate the force required to raise the output piston

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3 * 10^4 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F1 be the force applied on input piston, F2 be the force applied on output piston, A1 be the surface area of the input piston and A2 be the surface area of the output piston.

According to hydraulics principle,

F1/A1 = F2/A2

or, F1/F2 = A1/A2

or, 100/F2 = 10/3000

or, F2 = 100 * 3000/10

0r, F2 = 30000 N

          = 3 * 10^4 N

Hope this helps.
