You are trying to lift a car to change a tire using a hydraulic jack.  You apply a force of 55 N to the input piston who's diameter is d1.  As a result, the output piston, which has a diameter d2, applies a force to the car. The ratio d2/d1 has a value of 10.5. Ignore the height difference between the input piston and output piston and determine the force that the output piston applies to the car
