Question

The area at the end X of a hydraulic jack is 0.005 m2
and at Y
is 0 .1m2
.What is the force felt at Y by applying 10 N force on the X

end? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Apply Pascal law ... Which states that when f1 / a1 apply to one end it distributed to other end without any loss

hence f1/a1 = constant

f1 / a1 = f2 / a2

10 / 0.005 = f2 / 0.1

f2 = 200 N
