A hydraulic press containing water has two arms with diameters as mentioned in the figure. A force of 10 N is applied on the surface of water in the thinner arm. The force required to be applied on the surface of water in the thicker arm to maintain equilibrium of water i $s _______$ N.

Question

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Image By Pascal's law: F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂ Diameter of thinner arm = 1.4 cm Radius = 0.7 cm Diameter of thicker arm = 14 cm Radius = 7 cm Therefore: F₂/10 = 7²/0.7² = 100 Hence: F₂ = 1000 N
