Answer:
50N
Explanation:
Pressure = Force/Area
Where P1 = P2
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Given that F1 =? A1 = 0.01m^2
F2= 250N A2= 0.05m^2
F1/0.01m^2 = 250N/0.05m^2
F1 × 0.05= 0.01 × 250
F1 = 0.01×250/0.05
F1 = 2.5/0.05
F1 = 50N
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Small piston Hydraulic piston has an area
A1 = 0.01m²
If the force applied is 250N is applied to the small piston at an area of 0.05 m²
Then,
F2 = 250 N and A2 = 0.05m²
Then, applying pascal principle,
Pressure at small area = pressure are bigger area
P1 = P2
F1 / A1 = F2 / A2
F1 / 0.01 = 250 / 0.05
F1 / 0.01 = 5000
Cross multiply
F1 = 5000 × 0.01
F1 = 50 N
