Answer:
[tex]\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9[/tex]
Explanation:
According to Pascal's Law, the pressure transmitted from input pedal to the output plunger must be same:
[tex]P_1 = P_2\\\\\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}[/tex]
where,
F₁ = Load lifted by output plunger = 2100 N
F₂ = Force applied on input piston = 44 N
r₁ = radius of output plunger
r₂ = radius of input piston
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}=\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}\\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9[/tex]
