Pistons are fitted to two cylindrical chambers connected through a horizontal tube to form a hydraulic system. The piston chambers and the connecting tube are filled with an incompressible fluid. The cross-sectional areas of piston 1 and piston 2are A1 and A2, respectively. A force F1 is exerted on piston 1. Rank the resultant force F2 on piston 2 that results from the combinations of F1, A1, and A2 given from greatest to smallest. If any of the combinations yield the same force, give them the same ranking. F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.3 m2; and A2 = 0.6 m2 F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.3 m2; and A2 = 0.15 m2 F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.6 m2; and A2 = 1.2 m2 F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.15 m2; and A2 = 0.6 m2 F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.15 m2; and A2 = 0.3 m2 F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.6 m2; and A2 = 0.3 m2
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.3 m2; and A2 = 0.6 m2
-
F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.3 m2; and A2 = 0.15 m2
-
F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.6 m2; and A2 = 1.2 m2
-
F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.15 m2; and A2 = 0.6 m2
-
F1 = 4.0 N; A1 = 0.15 m2; and A2 = 0.3 m2
-
F1 = 2.0 N; A1 = 0.6 m2; and A2 = 0.3 m2
