If a 3 N force is applied to the small piston of a hydraulic lift with an aarea of 0.5 m3 how much force will be applied to the large piston if it has an area of 2 m3?
6 m^3
How does a hydraulic system achieve a increase in force?
Pascal's law states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid.Pressure= Force divided by Area, that is Force = pressure*Area, as pressure remains constant as per Pascal's Law, if area increases force increases .So if we applied small force on a piston of small radius anywhere in a confined incompressible liquid, we will get large force on a piston of larger radius.
What would be easier to move a large empty box or a small heavy box?
an object's acceleration depends on the object's mass and the force applied to it. the lager the force applied to it.
How it is possible for a large force to produce only a small or even zero torque?
if large force is applied keeping the minimum moment arm then it produces a very small torque or even no torque.
Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?
Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force? Explain yes it is possible if small force is applied with a larger moment arm(lever arm) as compared to larger force.

How does a hyraulic lift work?
Pascal's principle : Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid, as well as to the walls of the container. A common application of this is a hydraulic lift used to raise a car off the ground so it can be repaired at a garage. A small force applied to a small-area piston is transformed to a large force at a large-area piston. If a car sits on top of the large piston, it can be lifted by applying a relatively small force to the smaller piston, the ratio of the forces being equal to the ratio of the areas of the pistons.
How can you increase the force a hydraulic device produces without increasing the size of the force you apply to the small piston?
You reduce the diameter of the small piston. Or reduce the diameter and increase the travel of the small piston if you want the large piston to maintain it's previous range of travel.
How do hydrochloric jacks work?
hydrauchloric jacks work on this principle when a small force is applied to one end of a movable piston a large force over a larger area on the other side raises the car to a height
Why is force exerted on a small piston multiplied when it acts on a larger pistion?
Suppose the smaller piston was 1 square cm and the large piston was 7 square cm. If you pushed on the small piston, the force would be multiplied 7 times on the large piston. The Hydraulic System is a system that uses liquids to transmit pressure and multiply force in a confined fluid. Hope this helped. (:
If you have a larger piston in hydrolics pushing two smaller pistons does it exert the same force per smaller piston that you push on the larger piston?
it depends on the surface ratio, if both small pistons have the same surface area, then the same amount of force will be applied.

What is an example of a pneumatic fluid?
The main function is the transfer of force from one point to another. Some pneumatic machines also obtain mechanical advantage by converting a small force applied over a large distance to a large force applied over a small distance.
How hydraulics machine work as a magnifier?
A piston with a small surface area, is used to push fluid through a pipe, to a piston with a large surface area.The force used to push the small piston, will be divided into the larger surface area of the second piston.The larger piston will move a smaller amount, but will have more force, proportional to the difference in sizes.
