Question

Two tubes of different area of cross section filled with a liquid are connected. The area of
cross section of small pipe is 1 m2 and that of the large one is 2m2.Calculate the pressure
experienced on the large piston if a force of 10 N is applied on the small piston.​

Answer 1

Answer:

20N

Explanation: we know the pressure will be same in a liquid every where then we applied formula p=p and we know pressure P=$\frac{F}{A}$

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }$ = $\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$  (here F1=10N and A1=1$m^{2}$ and A2=2$m^{2}$ ,hence⇒  $\frac{10}{1}=\frac{F_{2} }{2}$  ⇒$F_{2}$=20N
