Answer:
(a) Weight (Uplifting Force)=[tex]10,000N[/tex]
(b) Pressure applied to piston=[tex]250\frac{N}{cm^{2} }[/tex]
Explanation:
Given Data
Force=500 N
A₁(Small Piston Area)=2.0 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
A₂(Large Piston Area)=40 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
(a) Weight=?
(b) Pressure Applied to Piston=?
Solution
First we have to Solve for part (b) Pressure
Pressure=[tex]\frac{Force}{Small Piston Area}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{500}{2}\\ P=250\frac{N}{cm^{2} }[/tex]
For Part (a) Weight
Weight (Uplifting Force)=P×A₂
Weight=250×40
Weight=10,000 N
