The area of the smaller piston of a hydraulic press is 0.01 m2
and that of the bigger
piston is 0.5 m. If the force applied to the smaller piston is 2 N, what force is
transmitted to the larger piston?

  

Answers


Moraa
Pressure = force / area – hence P = 2 / 0.01 = 200 Pa.
Force = Pressure × Area = 200 × 0.5 = 100 N
