**Problem Statement:**If a dentist’s chair weighs 1600 N and is raised by a large piston with a cross-sectional area of 75.0 cm², what force must be exerted on a small piston of cross-sectional area 3.75 cm² to lift the chair?**Explanation:**This physics problem is related to Pascal's Principle, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid. By using pistons of different sizes, a small force can be transformed into a larger force.To solve this, you can use the formula for pressure:\[ \text{Pressure} (P) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)} \]Since the pressures are equal, you can equate the two:\[ \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2} \]Where:- \( F_1 \) is the force exerted by the smaller piston.- \( A_1 \) is the area of the smaller piston (3.75 cm²).- \( F_2 \) is the force exerted by the larger piston (1600 N).- \( A_2 \) is the area of the larger piston (75.0 cm²).Rearranging for \( F_1 \):\[ F_1 = \frac{F_2 \times A_1}{A_2} \]Plug in the given values to find the force needed on the small piston.

Figure (a) below shows a U-shaped tube containing an amount of mercury. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area A, of 10.3 cm, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A, of 4.10 cm. In both arms, the mercury is at the same level, as shown. In figure (b) below, 100 g of water is poured into the right arm of the tube and sits atop the mercury, all of it within the right arm. The mercury level in the right arm has been displaced downward, and the mercury level in the left arm has been displaced upward from its original level by a distance h. The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm, and the density of water is 1.00 g/cm.
