What force (in n) must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2200 kg car (a large car) resting on the slave cylinder? the master cylinder has a 2.20 cm diameter, while the slave has a 24.0 cm diameter.

Fm =181.16 N

Explanation:

Pascal principle

The pressure acting on one side (master cylinder)  is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid ( slave cylinder) because the liquid is incompressible.

The pressure is definited like this:

P=F/A

Where:

P: Pressure in pascals (Pa)

F: Force acting in the area  (N)

A  : Area where the force acts  (m²)

Pascal principle

Pm=Ps

Fm/ Am= Fs/ As  Formula (1)

Where :

Pm : Pressure on the master cylinder (Pa)

Ps  : Pressure on the slave cylinder (Pa)

Fp : Force on the master cylinder (N)

Fs:  Force on the slave cylinder ((N)

Am: master cylinder area (m²)

As:  slave cylinder area  (m²)

Calculation of the weight of the car (W)

W= m*g= 2200 kg*9.8m/s²= 21560 N

W = Fs

Data

Fs=   21560 N

Dm = 2.20 cm : diameter of the master cylinder

Ds = 24 cm : diameter of the master  slave

Calculation  of the areas  

A= π*R²

Where R is the radio of the cylinder, R = D/2

Rm = Dm/2 =  2.2/ 2 = 1.1 cm

Rs = Ds/2 =  24/2 = 12 cm

Am =  π*Rm² = π*(1.1)² cm²

As =  π*Rs² = π*(12)² cm²

Calculation  of the force on the master cylinder

We apply the Formula (1)

Fm / Am= Fs / As

Fm =181.16 N

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.
