You apply a force of 57 N to the input piston who's diameter is d1. As a result, the output piston, which has a diameter d2, applies a force to the car. The ratio d2/d1 has a value of 7.2. Ignore the height difference between the input piston and output piston and determine the force that the output piston applies to the car.arrow_forward
