Question

A force of 50kgf is applied to the smaller piston of a hydraulic machine. Neglecting friction, The force exerted on the large piston, if the diameters of the piston are 5cm and 25cm respectively is X N. Find X250

Solution

We know that Pressure on both the Piston should be same,
Pressure on smaller Piston=Pressure on larger Piston
Force on smallerArea of smaller=Force on largerArea of larger
Force on Larger=Force on smallerArea of smaller×Area of larger
502.5×2.5×3.14×12.5×12.5×3.14=1250kgf
