Problem

A hydraulic press has a small piston of area

5\,\text{cm}^2

and a large piston of area

200\,\text{cm}^2

. Calculate the maximum load that can be lifted on the large piston when a force of

150\,\text{N}

is applied on the small piston. (Take

1\,\text{cm}^2 = 1\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^2
