Force and Piston Movement Calculations
Not what you're looking for?
A hydraulic jack has two pistons. The diameters of the larger piston and smaller piston are 15 cm and 1.25 cm respectively.It is necessary to lift a 2000 pound car. How large a force must be applied to the small piston? Now assume that a small piston moves through a distance of 10 cm. By what distance will the large piston move?

Solution Summary
The solution shows the formulas and calculations with explanations to arrive at the answer.
Solution Preview
The hydraulic jack works on the principle of Pascal's law:
pressure (p1) = pressure (p2)
=>F1/A1 = F2/A2
where F1 and F2 are the forces and A1 and A2 are the corresponding sides cross-sectional ...
