A hydraulic jack has a diameter ratio between the two pistons of 10:1. The diameter of the larger piston is 450 mm and it is required to support mass of 3450 kg. The hydraulic jack is filled with a hydraulic fluid which has specific gravity 0.83. Determine the force required on the smaller piston when the smaller piston is 1.3 m below the larger piston.
