In a simple hydraulic press, the cross-sectional area of the two cylinders are 
and 
, respectively. A force of 
is applied at the small plunger. The pressure produced in the cylinders is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In a hydraulic press, a force 
applied to the smaller plunger (creates a pressure) 
in the liquid and this pressure is transmitted equally throughout the liquid and acts on the larger plunger. The thrust acting on the larger plunger upwards due to this pressure is
Hence, the thrust on 
magnified 
times
