Question
1st picture: Piston A has a cross sectional area of 1400 mm2 While that of piston B is 1000 mm2. B is higher than A by 2m. If the intervening passages are filled with oil whose specific gravity is 0.80 and a force of 4kN is acting on B. What must be the pressure at Piston B? Neglect the weight of the pistons.
