imagine that the fluid in the pump is now an incompressible hydraulic oil instead of air and you managed to apply a Force of 600N to the pump handle. Using Pascal’s Principle, if the diameter of the larger piston equals 1.10 meters, how much weight could the large diameter piston support in units of Newtons?

Question

Question: Once again, using our bicycle pump (same diameter) from question #9, imagine that the fluid in the pump is now an incompressible hydraulic oil instead of air and you managed to apply a Force of 600N to the pump handle. Using Pascal’s Principle, if the diameter of the larger piston equals 1.10 meters, how much weight could the large diameter piston support in units of Newtons?

Question #9 ANSWER: The compressed air in the pump now has a pressure of 69503.125 N/m^2 Pascals.
