Which of the following relations correctly represents the condition of equilibrium between forces F1,F2F_1, F_2 acting on pistons of areas A1,A2A_1, A_2 in an ideal hydraulic press? a) F1A2=F2A1\dfrac{F_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_1} b) F1A1=F2A2\dfrac{F_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_2} c) F1A1=F2A1\dfrac{F_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_1} d) F1A1=F2A1+A2\dfrac{F_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_1+A_2}
