Hi Danny,
what have you tried thus far? Have you drawn a diagram of the situation?

asked 12/03/20(Draw a diagram) A car weighing 1.20*10^4N sits on a hydraulic piston with a radius of 0.75m. Compressed air exerts a force on the second piston, which has a radius of 0.20m. How large must this force be to support the car?

Well, I know that for hydraulics systems, I would use the equation F1/A1=F2/A2. So in the case of my question, F1/0.2m=12000N/0.75m, which F1 would equal 3200N. What I have a hard time with is with the free-body diagram itself.12/03/20
