Problem

In a hydraulic machine the area of the small piston is

25\,\text{cm}^2

and that of the large piston is

500\,\text{cm}^2

. If the small piston is pushed downward by

12\,\text{cm}

, through what distance will the large piston rise? (Assume the fluid is incompressible and there is no leakage.) (a)

1.5\;\text{cm}

(b)

6.0\;\text{cm}

(c)

0.6\;\text{cm}

(d)

2.7\;\text{cm}
