In a hydraulic car lift, the input piston has a radius of 2 cm and a negligible weight. The output plunger has a radius of 0.4 m. The combined mass of the car and the plunger is 1.2 tonne. The hydraulic lift uses hydraulic fluid. What input force (in N) is needed to support the car and the output plunger when the bottom surfaces are at the same level?
