A force of 120.0 N is applied to 2.000 cm diameter piston, which is in contact with a closed container of water (density of water = 1,000 kg/m3). A second piston, with a diameter of 25.00 cm and at the same height as the first piston, is also in contact with the water. What force does the water pressure exert on the second piston?
