Question 5

A hydraulic lift system uses two pistons, one with a small cross-sectional area (A1) and the other with a larger cross-sectional area (A2). If a force F1 is applied to the smaller piston, causing it to move downwards by a distance d1, how does the force exerted by the larger piston (F2) and its upward displacement (d2) relate to F1 and d1, assuming ideal conditions?

Accepted Answer

B. F2 > F1 and d2 < d1 — According to Pascal's principle, the pressure applied to the small piston (P = F1/A1) is transmitted undiminished to the larger piston. Since the larger piston has a greater area (A2 > A1), it experiences a magnified force (F2 = P * A2, hence F2 > F1). By the principle of conservation of energy, the work input must equal the work output in an ideal system (F1 * d1 = F2 * d2). Therefore, to compensate for the increased force F2, the larger piston must move a proportionally smaller distance (d2 < d1).

Answer

A. F2 = F1 and d2 = d1

Answer

C. F2 < F1 and d2 > d1

Answer

D. F2 = F1 and d2 < d1
