Question

Two syringes of different cross section (without needle) filled with water are connected with a tightly fitted rubber tube filled with water. Diameters of the smaller piston and larger piston are 1 cm and 3 cm respectively. If a force of 10N is applied to the smaller piston then the force exerted on the larger piston is

100N

90N

30N

60N

Solution

Since pressure is transmitted undiminished throughout the water
F1A1=F2A2
where F1 and F2 are the forces on the smaller and on the larger pistons respectively and A1 and A2 are the respective areas.
∴ F2=A2A1F1=πD2/22πD1/22F1=D2D12F1
3×10-2m21×10-2m2×10N = 90N
