Problem

In a certain hydraulic system, the area of the small piston is

2\,\text{cm}^2

and that of the large piston is

50\,\text{cm}^2

. If the small piston is pushed downward by

10\,\text{cm}

, how much will the large piston rise (neglect losses)? a)

0.04\,\text{cm}

2.0\,\text{cm}

0.40\,\text{cm}

10\,\text{cm}
