Answer:

The distance moved by the train is half the distance moved by the force

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the force applied to the smaller piston, F₂ = 4,000 N

The pressure in the area of the larger piston, A₁ = 2 × The pressure in the smaller piston, A₂

∴ A₁ = 2 × A₂

We have;


(A_1)/(A_2) = (2\cdot A_2 )/(A_2) =2 = (F_1)/(F_2)

F₁ = 2·F₂ = 2 × 4,000 N = 8,000 N

F₁·d₁ = F₂·d₂

∴ 8,000 N ×d₁ = 4,000 N × d₂

d₁ = 1/2·d₂

∴ The distance moved by the train is half the distance moved by the force
