hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a 2100-kg weight by putting a weight of 25 kg on a piston with a diameter of 10 cm. Determine the diameter of the piston on which the weight is to be placed.

840 cm

Explanation:

Note: A hydraulic press operate based on pascal's principle.

From pascal's principle

W₁/d₁ = W₂/d₂ Equation 1

Where W₁ and W₂ are the first and second weight, and d₁ and d₂ are the  first and second diameter of the piston.

make d₁ the subject of the equation

d₁ = W₁×d₂/W₂ Equation 2

Given: W₁ = 2100 kg, W₂ = 25 kg, d₂ = 10 cm = 0.1 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

d₁ = 2100(0.1)/25

d₁ = 8.4 m

d₁ = 840 cm

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
