- Figure 3 shows two cylinders of different cross-sectional areas with a tube. The cylinder contain an incompressible fluid and are fitted with piston of cross-sectional areas 4 cm2 and 24 cm2(Solved)
Figure 3 shows two cylinders of different cross-sectional areas with a tube. The cylinder contain an incompressible fluid and are fitted with piston of cross-sectional areas 4 cm2 and 24 cm2
Opposing forces P and Q are applied to the pistons such that the pistons do not move. If the pressure on the smaller piston is 5 Ncm-2, determine force Q.
