Homework Statement
A 55 kg cheerleader uses an oil-filled hydraulic lift to hold four 110 kg football players at a height of 1.0m. If her piston is 16 cm in diameter, what is the diameter of the football players' piston?
Homework Equations
F1/A1=F2/A2
A=pi*r^2
F=mg
The Attempt at a Solution
(55)(9.8)/pi(0.08)^2=(440)(9.8)/pi(r^2)
After I did this, I realized that I need to work the height into the equation, but I'm not sure where it would fit in.
