#4) Dr. Sachiko McBride created a hydraulic lift system that has, on the left side, a small piston with a radius of 0.0045 m and on the right side, a larger piston with a radius of 0.085 m (the two pistons are connected by a small tube at the bottom and have the same initial heights). She puts some walnuts on the small piston on the left side. Two squirrels, Jackie and Half-tail, try to get walnut by teamwork (they can't reach the walnut since the piston hole is too small to stick their heads in and their arms are too short). So, Jackie stands on the large piston to raise the walnut on the small piston. The mass of Jackie is 0.13 kg . The mass of the walnuts are negligible.
(A) What is the pressure in the fluid as a result of Jackie standing on the large piston? [Final answer should be in units of Pascal]
(B) As a result of Jackie standing on the larger piston, calculate how much upward force is transmitted to the smaller piston to raise the walnut for Half-tail?
