Question

in a hydraulic press,a force of 200N is applied to a master piston of area 25cm² if the press is designed to produce a force of 5000N,determine the radius of the slave piston​

Answer 1

The radius of the slave piston​ = 14.10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply here is that for pressure where ;

Pressure = Force / Area

F₁ /A₁ =F₂/A₂ where ; F₁=200 N , A₁= 25 cm² , F₂ =5000 N ,A₂ =?

Apply values in the equation as ;

200/ 25 = 5000/ A₂

A₂ = 625 cm²

Formula for area is ;

A = πr²

625 = π * r²

625/π = r²

√625/π =r

14.10 cm = r
