A schematic of a homemade hydraulic jack is shown in the figure below, with cylindrical tube ends of different radii,

r ₁ = 0.0540 m and

r ₂ = 0.140 m, respectively.

(a) If a downward force of F ₁ = 13.0 N is applied to the end with the smaller radius, how much force F ₂ would the jack exert on a car if it were sitting above the other end? (Enter the magnitude.) (b) If the smaller piston is pushed down a distance d ₁ = 0.192 m, through what distance d ₂ would the other end move?
