Fluid pressure problem? please help!
The input cylinder of a hydraulic lift has a diameter of 8.00 cm, and a bronze lion sits on a cylinder with 198.0 cm diameter. If the lion has a mass of 1395 kg, how far down does the input cylinder have to go to lift the lion 0.500 meter?
p1 + 0.5 p (v1)^2 + pg(h1) = p2 + 0.5 p (v2)^2 + pg(h2)
F1/A1 = F2/A2
This is fluids at rest, so the velocity doesn't come into hand. It doesn't provide p. h1 is 0.5m. What do p1 and p2 equal. They also don't give the force applied on the input cylinder. I don't know how to do this. I don't want the answer. I just want to know how to get there. I'd rather understand the concept behind it.
