piston pushed in a cylinder

jacob.jonathon

[b]1. How far must a 2.0-cm-diameter piston be pushed down into one cylinder of a hydraulic lift to raise an 8.0-cm-diameter piston by 20 cm?

2. Relevant equations

[b]3. what equations do i use is it pV=nRT

Volume displaced by small piston must be equal to volume displaced in bigger cylinder. The liquid is taken to be incompressible.
