Which of the following relations correctly represents the forces F1F_{1} and F2F_{2} acting on two pistons of areas A1A_{1} and A2A_{2} in an ideal hydraulic press? a) F1A1=F2A2F_{1}A_{1}=F_{2}A_{2} b) F1A2=F2A1\dfrac{F_{1}}{A_{2}}=\dfrac{F_{2}}{A_{1}} c) F1A1=F2A2\dfrac{F_{1}}{A_{1}}=\dfrac{F_{2}}{A_{2}} d) F1F2=A2A1\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{A_{2}}{A_{1}}
