The piston on the right has a cross sectional area of 20cm2 and a force of 10N applied to it. What is the likely cross sectional area of the larger piston on the left? Since the larger piston moves 1 unit to the smaller piston's 2 units the area must be twice as big. What is the force with which the larger piston is pushed upwards? The force is doubled so it will be 20N. |

The piston on the right has a cross sectional area of 100cm2 and a force of 10N applied to it. What is the likely cross sectional area of the larger piston on the left? Since the larger piston moves 2 units to the smaller piston's 4 units the area must be twice as big. A cross sectional area of 200cm2 is expected.What is the force with which the larger piston is pushed upwards? The force is doubled so it will be 20N.
