Problem

In a hydraulic press, the cross-sectional area of the small piston is

0.01\,\text{m}^2

and that of the large piston is

0.50\,\text{m}^2

. If a force of

200\,\text{N}

is applied on the small piston, what load can be lifted by the large piston? (Assume no losses.) (a)

1.0 \times 10^{3}\,\text{N}

(b)

1.0 \times 10^{5}\,\text{N}

(c)

1.4 \times 10^{3}\,\text{N}

(d)

1.0 \times 10^{4}\,\text{N}
