The force F, necessary to support an object with a mass of 991 kg placed on piston 2 is 373.8 N.
What is the force required to support the weight on piston 2?
The force, F required to support the weight on piston 2 is calculated as follows:
f = 991 * 9.81 = 9721.71 N
A₂ = (9.46/2)² = 22.373
A₁ = (1.87/2)² = 0.874
F = 9721.71 * 0.874/22.373
F = 373.8 N
Inc conclusion, a smaller force is applied to lift the larger force at Piston 2.
