Exercise 4.3

20 January, 2016 - 09:21

Pascal’s Law states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout a fluid at rest. (See the illustration below). An initial force of 150 N is transmitted from a piston of 25 mm^2 to a piston of 100 mm^2. This force is progressively increased up to 200 N. Write a script that computes the corresponding load carried by the larger piston and tabulate your results.
