The basic elements of a hydraulic press are shown in the figure below. The plunger has an area of 1 in.2, and a force, F₁, can be applied to the plunger through a lever mechanism having a mechanical advantage of 8 to 1. If the large piston has an area of 110 in.², what load, F2, can be raised by a force of 30 lb applied to the lever? Neglect the hydrostatic pressure variation. F₂ F₂= lb Hydraulic fluid Plunger F₁
