Question

If a hydraulic lift uses a force of 450 N on a piston of area 0.08 m^2, what is the pressure on the piston?

Answer 1

Given,

Force, F=450 N

Area is

`A=0.08\text{ m}^2`

To find

The pressure on the piston

Step-by-step explanation

The pressure is

`\begin{gathered} P=(F)/(A) \\ \Rightarrow P=(450)/(0.08) \\ \Rightarrow P=5625\text{ N/m}^2 \end{gathered}`

Conclusion

The pressure is

`5652\text{ N/m}^2`
