34. A barber’s chair with a person in it weighs 2100 N. The output plunger of a hydraulic system begins to lift the chair when the barber’s foot applies a force of 55 N to the input piston. Neglect any height difference between the plunger and the piston. What is the ratio of the radius of the plunger to the radius of the piston?

 

Pascal’s principle says any change in pressure in a fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the entire fluid.
