A mechanic is supporting a car with a hydraulic lift. The smaller piston has radius of 3 inches and the larger piston has a radius of 8 inches. How many pounds of force must be applied to the smaller piston to support a car weighing 2500 pounds? The pistons are located at the same vertical distance from the ground. Neglect the weight of the pistons.
