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: Option A
Explanation
(F_2 = frac{F_1 times A_2}{A_1} = frac{40 times 200}{10} = 800N)
