Suppose pistons A (diameter 1.25 inches) and B (diameter 0.75 inches) are connected by a simple hydraulic system. How much force does B exert if the input force on A is 3 pounds?

What will be an ideal response?


Find the pressure that exists within piston A:
Pressure = input force x area of piston A
= 3 pounds x 1.22 square inches
Pressure = 3.66 psi

Find force that piston B exerts:
Force = pressure x area of piston
= 3.66 psi x 0.44 square inches
Force =1.61 pounds
