Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 17P
Hydraulic car lift You are designing a hydraulic lift for a machine shop. The average mass of a car it needs to lift is about 1500 kg. What should be the specifications on the dimension of the pistons if you wish to exert a force on a smaller piston of not more than 500 N? How far down will you need to push the piston in order to lift the car 30 cm?
