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 10 N is applied to the smaller piston then the force exerted on the larger piston is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Since pressure is transmitted undimished throughout the water
Where 
and 
are the force on the smaller and on the larger pistons respectively and 
and 
are the respective areas.
