If the area of A1=0.005m^2 and the area A2=0.10m^2, external input force F1=100N. Calculate the output force F2.

Explanation:

Given

Required

Calculate

The solution to this question is Pascal's principle of pressure

Pressure is calculated using:

For the input force:

Substitute values for F1 and A1

For the input force:

Substitute value for A2

The pressure in the system is constant.

So:

Substitute 20000 for P2

Make F2 the subject

Hence, the output force is 2000N
