synthesis problems SP1. Suppose that the input piston of a hydraulic jack has a diameter of 2 cm and the load piston a diameter of 25 cm. The jack is being used to lift a car with a mass of 1400 kg. d. What force must be applied to the input piston to sup- port the car? SP2. Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³.

Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
