The diameters of a small piston and a large piston of a hydraulic jack are 45 mm and 100 mm respectively.Force of 0.09 kN applied on smaller in size piston. Find load lifted by piston if smaller in size piston is 40 cm above the large piston. The density of fluid is 850 kg/m3
(a) 60 N/cm^2
(b) 12 N/cm^2
(c) 30 N/cm^2
(d) None of the mentioned
The question was posed to me in homework.
Question is taken from Fluid Pressure at a Point and Pascal’s Law in section Pressure and Its Measurement of Fluid Mechanics
