A 2000 kg car is raised 1.5 meters high on a hydraulic jack, which has a large piston with a diameter of 30cm. The small piston has a diameter of 5cm (btw the reservoir is filled with oil)
d) When the car is raised by 1.5 m, what distance will the small piston move?
Is it simply that you have to take off 1.5 m on the side of the small piston in order for the big piston to raise by 1.5 m? Or is there something more complicated about this?
