State which of the following relations between the forces

F_1, F_2

and areas

A_1, A_2

of the two pistons correctly represents the condition for equilibrium in an ideal hydraulic lift. (a)

F_1A_1 = F_2A_2

(b)

\dfrac{F_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_1}

(c)

\dfrac{F_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_2}

(d)

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}
