A13,000-n vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. what force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter piston to accomplish this? assume the pistons each have negligible weight.

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

answer: the correct answer is   air pressure at the top of mount everest is higher than at the bottom of the grand canyon.

hope this : )
