Pascal's Principle

Pressure: as the force per unit area S.I unit of pressure is Newton per meter squared, 2 N/m , Pascals

where F is force and A is area

Pascal's Principle

Pascal's Principle: This principle is made use of in: a) hydraulic jacks b) hydraulic brakes and etc.

Pascal's Principle

The figure below shows the schematic diagram of hydraulic lift illustrates Pascals law;

Pascal's Principle

Description A piston with small cross sectional area, A1 exerts a force, F1 on the surface of a fluid. The applied pressure, p is transmitted through the connecting pipe to a large piston of area, A2. (Pascals law) The applied pressure is the same in both cylinders

Question

In figure above, the cylinder L has a mass of 600 kg and cross-sectional area of 800 cm2. Piston S has cross-sectional area of 25 cm2 and negligible weight. If the system is filled with oil with density 0.78 g cm-3, calculate the force, F required to maintain initial position. (Use g = 9.81 m s-2)
