Question: A multiple-piston hydraulic jack has two output pistons, each with an area of 250 cm2. The input piston, whose area is 25 cm2, is connected

A multiple-piston hydraulic jack has two output pistons, each with an area of 250 cm2. The input piston, whose area is 25 cm2, is connected to a lever that has a mechanical advantage of 9:1. If a 50-Nforce is exerted on the lever, how much pressure (kN/m2) is developed in the system? How much force (kN) will be exerted by each output piston?
