Problem

A master cylinder of area 2.0 cm22.0\,\text{cm}^2 is connected to four identical wheel cylinders, each of area 4.0 cm24.0\,\text{cm}^2. If the driver applies a force of 300 N300\,\text{N} on the master piston, calculate the force exerted on each wheel piston. (Assume the fluid is incompressible and there are no losses.)
