The ratio of output force to input force of a hydraulic press will be equal to the ratio of the output and input piston
A)diameters.
B)areas.
C)radii.
D)all of these
E)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of output force to input force in a hydraulic press is determined by the area of the output piston divided by the area of the input piston. Therefore, the best choice is B, which represents the ratio of the piston areas. The diameters or radii of the pistons are not directly related to the force ratio, so choices A and C are incorrect. The answer is not D or E, as only choice B is correct.
