Problem

A garage jack has piston areas of

0.015\,\text{m}^2

(small piston) and

0.45\,\text{m}^2

(large piston). What maximum load (in newtons) can be lifted when a worker applies a force of

300\,\text{N}

on the small piston? a)

9.3\times10^{3}\,\text{N}

9.0\times10^{3}\,\text{N}

9.0\times10^{2}\,\text{N}

9.0\times10^{4}\,\text{N}
