Question

A hydraulic lift is used to lift a car of mass $3000 k g$ . The cross-sectional area of the lift on which the car is supported is $5 \times 10^{- 2} m$ . What is the pressure on the smaller piston, if both the pistons are at the same horizontal level?
Take $g = 10 m s^{- 2}$ .

Solution

The radius of the "Smaller piston " is not given here so we have to assume that both pistons are identical. So, m=3000 kg, A= $5 \times 10^{- 2}$
Therefore $F = m g = 3000 \times 10 = 30, 000 N$
Therefore, assuming both pistons are identical and on the same horizontal height, pressure on each piston = $\frac{F}{2 A} = 3, 00, 000 N / m^{2}$

A hydraulic lift is used to lift a car of mass 3000 kg. The cross-sectional area of the lift on which the car is supported is 5×10−2m. What is the pressure on the smaller piston, if both the pistons are at the same horizontal level?Take g=10 ms−2.

The radius of the "Smaller piston " is not given here so we have to assume that both pistons are identical. So, m=3000 kg, A= 5×10−2ThereforeF=mg=3000×10=30,000NTherefore, assuming both pistons are identical and on the same horizontal height, pressure on each piston =F2A=3,00,000N/m2
