Question

law (20 points)A hydraulic lift is used to lift a 1800-kg weight by putting a weight of 20 kg on a piston with a diameter of D1 = 5 cm.

In this lift, two cylinders of different areas are connected as shown in the diagram below. There is fluid inside the lift device (colored in yellow). A. Determine the gravitational force acting on the piston by the 20-kg weight (F1), in N. Letg = 9.81 m/s2. B. Determine the gauge pressure acting on the piston, in kPa. C. Determine the gravitational force acting on the 1800-kg weight (F2) in N. What is the ratio of F2 to F1 (that is F2/F1)? D. Determine the diameter of the piston on which the 1800-kg weight is placed (D2).
