Answer:
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²
Explanation:
Given;
output mass of the piston, m₀ = 2000 kg
input force of the piston, F₁ = 500 N
input area of the piston, A₁ = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²
The output force is given by;
F₀ = m₀g
F₀ = 2000 x 9.8
F₀ = 19600 N
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston or output area of the piston will be calculated by applying the following equations;
[tex]\frac{F_i}{A_i} = \frac{F_o}{A_o} \\\\A_o= \frac{F_o A_i}{F_i} \\\\A_o = \frac{19600*0.001}{500} \\\\A_o = 0.0392 \ m^2\\\\A_o = 392 \ cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²
