MCQ
In a hydraulic press, the force produced on the larger piston is:
Unit-5 Pressure and Deformation in Solids
A greater than the force applied on the smaller piston
B equal to the force on the smaller piston
C less than the force on the smaller piston
D unrelated to the piston areas
Explanation

Force is multiplied in proportion to the areas: F2 = F1 x A2/A1, so the larger piston gives a bigger force.
