The hydraulic press is filled with oil (p= 800 kg/m³), as shown. The piston at B has a diameter of 20 cm while the piston at A has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the larger piston carries a load of 500 kg, how much force F must be applied to the smaller piston in order to maintain equilibrium? Set y= 5 m. 500 kg
