Homework Statement
The hydraulic system is this: It has two stamps (Unsure of how I am to translate that word). Basically it is the plate on which we apply pressure. You apply pressure on one of them, the other goes up. The question is:
How high will the big stamp move upwards when the small one is pressed down with a force F to 6 .0 cm?
Area of the small one = 2.0 cm^2
Radius of the small one = 6 cm
F = 250N
The Attempt at a Solution
The proposed solutions is just answering with this: a (area of the small one) * h (6.0 cm) = AH
ah = AH => H = (ah)/A
I don't understand why?
Thank you in advance.
