Question

6. A barber raises his customer's chair by applying a force of 150 N to the

hydraulic piston of area 0.01 m2. If the chair is attached to a piston with an
area of 0.1 m², how much force is needed to raise the customer?
STEP 1: List the known
and unknown values F =
A=
A,
STEP 2: Write the
correct equation
STEP 3: Insert the
known values into the
equation to solve for
the unknown value

Answer 1

15N

Step-by-step explanation:

F¹=150N

A=0.01m2²

F2=?

A2=0.1m²

P=F/A

F1/A2=F2/A1

150/0.1=F2/0.01
