Chapter 3.4, Problem 6E

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

1. The following variables are used in this program:
• F1is a floating type variable used to store the force applied to the first piston.
• F2is a floating type variableused to store the force transmitted to the second piston.
• r1is a floating type variableused to store the radius of the piston supporting mass m1.
• r2is a floating type variableused to store the radius of the piston supporting mass m2.
2. pow()function is used to calculate the power of a number.

Program Description:The main purpose of the program is to find the force transmitted to the second piston using the given formula. The given formula to calculate the F2 is shown below:

  $F_2=\frac{{\left(r_2\right)}^2}{{\left(r_1\right)}^2}{F}_1$
