The weight of a hydraulic barber's chair with a client is 2100 N. When the barber steps on the input piston with a force of 44 N, the output plunger of a hydraulic system begins to lift the chair. Determine the ratio of the radius of the output plunger to the radius of the input piston.

Explanation:

According to Pascal's Law, the pressure transmitted from input pedal to the output plunger must be same:

where,

F₁ = Load lifted by output plunger = 2100 N

F₂ = Force applied on input piston = 44 N

r₁ = radius of output plunger

r₂ = radius of input piston

Therefore,

they start with the same
