A piston of cross-sectional area a is used in a hydraulic press to exert a small force

Question:

A piston of cross-sectional area a is used in a hydraulic press to exert a small force of magnitude f on the enclosed liquid. A connecting pipe leads to a larger piston of cross sectional area A (Figure).

(a) What force magnitude F will the larger piston sustain without moving?

(b) If the piston diameters are 3.80 cm and 53.0 cm, what force magnitude on the small piston will balance a 20.0kN force on the largepiston?
