Question

If a hydraulic lift uses a force of 400 N on a piston of area 0.065 m2, what is the pressure on the piston?

Answer 1

The pressure is given by the following formula:

`\begin{gathered} P=(F)/(A) \\ Where: \\ F=Force=400N \\ A=Area=0.065 \\ so: \\ P=(400)/(0.065) \\ P\approx6153.84Pa \end{gathered}`

Answer:

Approximately 6153.84 Pa
