Question:
Suppose that the input piston of a hydraulic jack has a diameter of 2 cm and the load piston a diameter of 25 cm. The jack is being used to lift a car with a mass of 1400 kg.
a. What are the areas of the input and load pistons in square centimeters? (A = πr3)
b. What is the ratio of the area of the load piston to the area of the input piston?
c. What is the weight of the car in newtons? (W = mg)
d. What force must be applied to the input piston to support the car?
Step by Step Answer:
The area A of a piston with radius r is given as follows A r 2 The weight W of a body with mass m is ...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
