Problem

In a hydraulic lift, a force of

100\,\text{N}

is applied on a small piston of area

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

. If the area of the large piston is

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

, the maximum load that can be lifted on the large piston (neglecting all losses) is (a)

2.5\times10^{3}\,\text{N}

(b)

4.0\times10^{3}\,\text{N}

(c)

2.0\times10^{3}\,\text{N}

(d)

5.0\times10^{3}\,\text{N}
