If you have a hydraulic system where a small force of 10 N is applied through a 2 m² area, what pressure is exerted? If this pressure is transmitted to a piston with an area of 4 m², what force will it exert?
💡 Hint: Calculate pressure first, then use it to find the force.
A diver descends to a depth of 30 meters in water. Calculate the increase in pressure experienced by the diver compared to the surface pressure (approx. 101.3 kPa). Assume water density is 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Remember the pressure increase formula involving density and depth.
