Problem
In a hydraulic jack, the output piston has twice the diameter of the input piston. Neglecting energy losses, which statement is correct?
(a) Output force becomes twice the input force and its displacement becomes half of the input displacement.
(b) Output force becomes four times the input force and its displacement becomes one-fourth of the input displacement.
(c) Output force becomes four times the input force while the displacement of both pistons remains the same.
(d) Output force becomes four times the input force and its displacement becomes half of the input displacement.
