Question

Explain how the amount of pressure created by a smaller piston can be the same as the pressure created by a larger piston?

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger piston will travel a smaller distance but it will exert a larger force. The formula can be rearranged: P=F x A. Because the pressure (P) is the same in the whole system (which is the hydraulic jack), the force (F) will be larger where the area (A) of the piston is larger!

Answer 2

The relation between pressure, force and area shows  that pressure is inversely proportional to the area while directly proportional to the force.

What is pressure?

The force was applied perpendicular to an object's surface per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure. The pressure gauge in relation to the higher pressures is known as gauge pressure. Pressure is measured in a variety of ways.

Although the larger piston travels a shorter distance, it exerts a greater force. It's possible to rearrange the formula

P=F / A.

where, the pressure (P) in the entire system  is the same, the force (F) will be greater where the piston's area (A) is greater.

Therefore, it can be seen that pressure is inversely proportional to the area while directly proportional to the force.
