what force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2500 kg car (a big car) resting on the slave cylinder? the master cylinder has a 1.93 cm diameter, while the slave's is 24.9 cm. 1900 n 150 n 15 n 4.1e 06 n 74 n



Answer :

The force that must be exerted on the master cylinder of the hydraulic lift to support the weight of car is  147.2 N .

The Pascal's Law states that the relation between the pressure , force and area is given as :

Pressure = Force/Area ;

given that the diameter of the master cylinder is = 1.93 cm ;

so radius of master cylinder = 1.93/2 = 0.965 cm = 0.00965 m ;

the diameter of slave cylinder is = 24.9 cm ;

the radius of the slave cylinder = 24.9/2 = 12.45 m = 0.1245 m ;

Area of slave cylinder (A₁)= π(0.1245)² = 0.0486 m²

Area of the master cylinder (A₂) =  π(0.00965)² = 0.000292 m² ;

given mass of the car = 2500 Kg ,

the force exerted will be : F = m*a

F₁ = 2500*9.8 = 24500 N ;

F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂

So , 24500/0.0486 = F₂/0.000292

F₂ = (24500/0.0486)×0.000292

F₂ = 147.2 N

Therefore , the force exerted on the master cylinder is 147.2 N  .
