Pascal's Law & Hydraulic Lift
19. Fluid Mechanics / Pascal's Law & Hydraulic Lift / Problem 2
An 85 kg mechanic balances a 1450 kg car on the hydraulic lift shown below. When a second person joins the mechanic, the mechanic's piston goes down, creating a 38 cm height difference between the two pistons. Determine the mass of the second person. Take incompressible fluid density as 930 kg/m3.
