You are designing a hydraulic lift for an automobile garage. It
will consist of two oil-filled cylindrical pipes of different
diameters. A worker pushes down on a piston at one end, raising the
car on a platform at the other end. See (Figure 1). To handle
a full range of jobs, you must be able to lift cars up
to 3000 kg , plus the 500 kg platform
on which they are parked. To avoid injury to your workers, the
maximum amount of force a worker should need to exert
is 100 N.
a)What should be the diameter of the pipe under the
platform?
Express your answer in meters.
b) If the worker pushes down with a
stroke 60 cm long, by how much will he raise the car
at the other end?
Express your answer in millimeters.
