\begin{gathered} F1=485\text{ lb} \\ r1=(3.2in)/(2)=1.6in \\ F2=2800lb \\ r2=(9.2in)/(2)=4.6\text{ in} \\ efficiency=? \\ First\text{ Pascal to find the output force} \\ (F1)/(A1)=(F_(out))/(A2) \\ F_(out)=(A2F1)/(A1) \\ \\ F_(out)=(\pi(r2)^2F1)/(\pi(r1)^2) \\ \\ F_(out)=((r2)^2F1)/((r1)^2) \\ \\ F_(out)=((4.6in)^2(485lb))/((1.6in)^2) \\ \\ f_(out)=4008,8\text{ lb} \\ \\ efficiency=(2800lb)/(4008,8lb)*100 \\ \\ efficiency=69.84\text{ \%} \\ The\text{ efficiency is 69.84 \%} \\ \end{gathered}
