A hydraulic machine constructed with syringes has piston A (area 0.5 cm^2) and piston B (area 5 cm^2). A force of 20 N is applied on piston A. How much force must be applied through piston B to balance it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Given: Area of piston A (A1) = 0.5 cm^2, Area of piston B (A2) = 5 cm^2, Force on piston A (F1) = 20 N
