2. A car on a hydraulic lift rests on a cylinder with a piston of a diameter of 12 inches. If a connecting cylinder with a piston of i -inch diameter is driven by compressed air with a force of 100 lb., how big the force approximately will be generated to the larger piston to lift the car?
a. 600 lb. b.1,200 lb. c. 6,000 lb. d. 12,000 lb. e. 15,000 lb
Force is given by:
Force = Pressure*Area
Pressure = Force/Area
Pressure on both piston will be equal, So
F1/A1 = F2/A2
F2 = F1*(A2/A1) = F1*(d2/d1)^2
Area of piston = pi*d^2/4
where d = diameter of piston
F1 = Force by which smaller piston is pressed = 100 lb
d2 = diameter of larger piston = 12 inches
d1 = diameter of smaller piston = 1 inches (Please check again your question, it should be 1 inch, if there is some other value let me know through comments)
So,
F2 = (100 lb)*(12/1)^2
F2 = 100*144 = 14400 lb
F2 = Approximately 15000 lb
Correct option is E.

Pascal’s principle: What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 1800 kg car resting on the slave cylinder? The master cylinder has a 2.00 cm diameter and the slave has a 25.0 cm diameter. Pascal’s principle: A barber’s chair rests on a hydraulic piston 10 cm in diameter. The input side has a piston with cross-sectional area of 10 cm2 which is pumped on using a foot pedal. If...
The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.4 square inches. If a force of 7.5 lb is applied to this piston, what is the force on the brake pads of the wheels if the area of each pad is 1.2 square inches?
The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.2 square inches. If a force of 5.9 lb is applied to this piston, what is the force (in pounds) on the brake pads of the wheels if the area of each pad is 1.3 square inches?
The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a diameter of 8.0 cm, and large piston has a diameter of 40 cm. The lift raises a load of 15,000 N. Determine the force that must be applied to the small piston. Determine the pressure applied to the fluid in the lift.
How far must a 2.0-cm-diameter piston be pushed down into one cylinder of a hydraulic lift to raise an 7-cm-diameter piston by 30 cm?
Question 2 - 70 Marks A hydraulic car lift system is shown schematically in Figure 1. The system is being designed to lift a 1500 kg car via two pistons (driven pistons) located underneath the wheels of the car (distributing the weight of the car so that half is on each piston). The cylindrical pistons each have a diameter of 10cm. The hydraulic system will be driven by a person sitting (or standing) on the driving piston. The car weighs...
In a closed Hydraulic system, a load is placed on a 4 inch diameter small piston and creates 10 psi of pressure. The larger piston is 15 square inches. How much force is created on the small piston? Load Hydraulic Pressure
