To solve the problem, we will use Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. This means that the ratio of the forces exerted by the two pistons is equal to the ratio of their areas. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Diameter of the larger piston, \( D_1 = 30.0 \, \text{cm} \) - Diameter of the smaller piston, \( D_2 = 2.5 \, \text{cm} \) - Force applied on the smaller piston, \( F_2 = 50.0 \, \text{kg-wt} \) ...
