Question

The area of the smaller piston of a hydraulic press is 1 centimetre square and that of larger piston is 22 centimetre square.How much weight can be raised on the larger piston by a 200 kgf to exerted on the Smaller piston?

Answer 1

Dear Student
As the pressure remains same all over
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2} \\ \frac{{\displaystyle 200\times 9.8}}{1\times {10}^{-4}}=\frac{F_2}{22\times {10}^{-4}} \\ {F}_2=4400\times 9.8N \\ Weightthatcanberaised=4400kgf \end{gathered}$$
