Question

Two pistons are connected to a fluid-filled reservoir. The first piston has an area of 3.002 cm2, and the second has an area of 315 cm2. If the first cylinder is pressed inward with a force of 50.0 N, what is the force that the fluid in the reservoir exerts on the second cylinder?​

Answer 1

The force on the second piston is 5246.5 N .

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of first piston, a = 3.002 cm^2

Area of second piston, A = 315 cm^2

Force on first piston, f = 50 N

let the force of the second piston is F.

According to the Pascal's law

`(f)/(a) = (F)/(A)\\\\(50)/(3.002)=(F)/(315)\\\\F = 5246.5 N`
