Aforce of 3600 n is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.040 . what force is excepted on a second piston that has an area of 0.20? use a. 18,000 n b. 7200 n c. 180,000 n d. 90,000 n

A. 18,000 N

Explanation:

By using Pascal's principle, we can say that the pressure on first piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston. Therefore we have:

where:

is the force on the first piston

is the area of the first piston

is the force on the second piston

is the area of the second piston

Re-arranging the equation, we find:

current flows in a wire
