The movable cylindrical pistons P₁ and P₂ of a hydraulic lift are of radii 2 ~m and R respectively. A body of mass 32 ~kg on piston P₂ is supported by a body of mass 2 ~kg placed on piston P₁ . The value of R is
Options
- A8 ~m
- B32 ~m
- C2 ~m
- D16 ~m
Correct answer
A. 8 ~m
Step-by-step solution
The pistons P₁ and P₂ of a hydraulic lift are shown below Using Pascal's law, pressures at piston P₁ and P₂ will be equal array ll & F₁ A₁ = F₂ A₂ & 32 g R^2 = 2 g (2^2 . array aligned & & 32 2 & =R^2 or & & R & =8 ~m aligned
