Working through EK Physics 101 passages, in particular Test 3A, question 46:
"Many bed-side patient lift assists use hydraulics to provide a mechanical advantage. What force should be applied, and to which piston, to provide 700N lifting assistance? Piston A has a diameter of 4cm, and piston B has a diameter of 1m"
A) 56N to piston A
B) 28N to piston A
C) 56N to piston B
D) 28N to piston B
Seems straight forward enough but I not getting the indicated answer from the solutions (B). I get...
