4) In a hydraulic lift in a car-repair shop, the diameter of the small piston is 22 cm, and the diameter of the large piston is 1.98 m. A 1470-kg car (including the platform) is to be lifted up on the large piston. a) How hard must a person push down on the small piston? Express your answer in Newtons, and also in lbs. [1 lb = 4.45 Newtons] b) If each stroke that the person applies (on the small piston) presses the piston down by 54 cm, how many strokes in a row does the person have to apply, in order to lift up the car by a total distance of 24 cm?

4) In a hydraulic lift in a car-repair shop, the diameter of the small piston is 22 cm, and the diameter
of the large piston is 1.98 m. A 1470-kg car (including the platform) is to be lifted up on the large
piston.
a) How hard must a person push down on the small piston? Express your answer in Newtons, and
also in lbs. [1 lb = 4.45 Newtons]
b) If each stroke that the person applies (on the small piston) presses the piston down by 54 cm, how
many strokes in a row does the person have to apply, in order to lift up the car by a total distance of
24 cm?
