Solution

I n space a space h y d r a u l l i c space m a c h i n e space
p r e s s u r e space o n space n a r r o w space p i s t o n equals space P r e s s u r e space o n space w i d e r space p i s t o n
P subscript 1 equals P subscript 2
F subscript 1 over A subscript 1 equals F subscript 2 over A subscript 2
fraction numerator F subscript 1 over denominator 2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent end fraction equals fraction numerator 150 over denominator 12 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent end fraction
F subscript 1 equals fraction numerator 150 over denominator 12 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent end fraction cross times 2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent
F subscript 1 equals 150 over 12 cross times 2 equals 25 space N
