In a hydraulic press, a force of 200 N is applied to master piston of area of 25cm-2. If the press is designed to produce a force of 5000N, determine a:the area of the slave piston
b:the radius of the slave piston

Explanation:

= Force applied to master piston = 200 N

= Force applied to slave piston = 5000 N

= Area of master piston =

= Area of slave piston

r = Radius of slave piston

From Pascal's law we have

The area of the slave piston is

Area of the slave piston is given by

The radius of the slave piston is .
