Problem
Two hydraulic lifts are identical except that the larger piston area in lift B is twice that in lift A, while the small piston areas are the same. If the same input force is applied on each lift, how does the load lifted by lift B compare with that of lift A?
(a) It is half as large.
(b) It is four times as large.
(c) It is twice as large.
(d) It is the same.
