A hydraulic jack includes a master cylinder that has a piston with a diameter of 0.85 cm. The slave cylinder has a piston with a diameter of 9.5 cm. 1. What is the area of the master cylinder's piston head? 2. What is the area of the slave cylinder's piston head? 3. What is the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of the jack? 4. If a force of 88 newtons is applied to the master cylinder's piston rod, what is the force applied to the slave cylinder's piston rad? 5. If the master cylinder's piston travels 3.3 cm in one stroke, how far does the slave cylinder's piston travel?
