Problem

A small piston of area

2\,\text{cm}^{2}

is pushed down through

15\,\text{cm}

with a force of

250\,\text{N}

in a closed hydraulic system. It is connected to a large piston of area

100\,\text{cm}^{2}

. Which pair of values for the load that can be supported by the large piston and its upward displacement is the closest? (a)

1.3\times10^{3}\,\text{kg}

and

0.3\,\text{cm}

(b)

1.3\times10^{3}\,\text{kg}

and

7.5\,\text{cm}

(c)

2.5\times10^{2}\,\text{kg}

and

0.3\,\text{cm}

(d)

1.3\times10^{4}\,\text{kg}

and

0.3\,\text{cm}
