Question

Hydraulic press: small piston area 10 cm², large piston area 100 cm². Force on small piston 100 N. Force on large piston:
  1. A
    10 N
  2. B
    100 N
  3. C
    1000 N
    Correct
  4. D
    10,000 N

Correct answer

1000 N

Explanation

P = F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂. F₂ = F₁×A₂/A₁ = 100×100/10 = 1000 N.
