In the hydraulic system depicted, the cylinder on the left has a diameter of 2 inches and the cylinder on the right has a diameter of 6 inches. If 100 lbs of force was applied to the cylinder on the left, what force would be exerted on the cylinder on the right

Sagot :

Answer:

F2 = 900 lbs

Explanation:

From pascal principle;

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Force on cylinder at left; F1 = 100 lbs

Diameter of cylinder at left; d1 = 2 inches

Diameter of cylinder at right; d2 = 6 inches

Formula for area of top of cylinder = πr²

Thus;

Area of top of left cylinder; A = π × 2² = 4π

Area of top of right cylinder; A = π × 6² = 36π

Thus;

100/4π = F2/36π

F2 = (36π × 100)/4π

F2 = 900 lbs
