Question

Note: 54.9 kg and 56.5 kg are not the correct answers given to me by previous tutors. Could I please be given the correct answer?

**Educational Exercise on Hydraulic Lift**

A 75 kg student is depicted balancing a 1200 kg elephant on a hydraulic lift. This scenario illustrates the principle of hydraulic balance and pressure.

- **Figure Explanation:**
  The figure shows a hydraulic lift system. The student is on the left piston, and the elephant is on the right. Both pistons are submerged in oil, with a distance of 2.0 meters between them. This setup is used to demonstrate the balance of forces in a hydraulic system.

- **Problem Statement (Part B):**
  When a second student joins the first, the liquid levels' height difference between the right and left pistons is 35 cm. The task is to determine the mass of the second student.
  
  You need to express your answer with the appropriate units.

- **Current Calculation Attempt:**
  An attempt was made to calculate the mass of the second student as 56.5 kg, which was marked incorrect. There are 2 attempts remaining.

For assistance with calculations, consider reviewing:
- [Rearrangement of Equations Involving Multiplication and Division](#)

Use this exercise to understand hydraulic systems and practice equation rearrangement.
