Question

Transcribed Image Text:In the figure, a spring of spring constant 3.10 x 104 N/m is between a rigid beam and the output piston of a hydraulic lever. An empty
container with negligible mass sits on the input piston. The input piston has area A;, and the output piston has area 21.OA;. Initially
the spring is at its rest length. How many kilograms of sand must be (slowly) poured into the container to compress the spring by
5.60 cm?
