The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of 250 cm^2. What force must be applied to the small piston in order to raise a car with a mass of 1500 kg?

Based on the data provided, the force that must be applied at the small piston is f = 1500 × 9.81 × 250/A.

What is the Pascal principle?

Pascal's principle states that the pressure applied to an enclosedfluid is transmitted undiminished tp every portion of the fluid.

Mathematically:

f/a= F/A

where

  • f is the force applied to the small piston
  • a is the area of the small piston
  • F is the force at the large piston
  • A is the area of the large piston

Therefore:

f = Fa/A

Since the area of the large piston is not given

f = 1500 × 9.81 × 250/A

Therefore, the force that must be applied at the small piston is f = 1500 × 9.81 × 250/A.
