Question 1 Report

A hydraulic press has a large circular piston of radius 0.8m and a circular plunger of radius 0.2m. A force of 500N is exerted by the plunger. Find the force exerted on the piston

8000N

4000N

2000N

31N

Answer Details

Pressure on piston = pressure on the plunger

$\frac{520}{π \times 0.8 \times 0.8}$ = $\frac{F}{π \times 0.2 \times 0.2}$

F = 31N
