In a hydraulic press, a force of 40N is applied to the smaller priston of area 10cm2. If the area of the larger piston is 200cm2, calculate the force obtained
- A. 800N
- B. 500N
- C. 80N`
- D. 50N
Correct Answer: A. 800N
Explanation
\(F_2 = \frac{F_1 \times A_2}{A_1} = \frac{40 \times 200}{10} = 800N\)
