In the given figure of hydraulic press, if the cross section area of cylinder 'A' and 'B' are $0.5 m^2$ and $10 m^2$ respectively, what magnitude of effort is to be applied on cylinder 'A' to balance the load of $1000N$ on cylinder 'B' ?

Let the magnitude of effort to be applied on cylinder 'A' to balance the load of
1000N on cylinder'B' be F N.

Now by Pascal's law the pressure on each piston will be same.

Hence

$"Effort"/"Area of A"="Load"/"Area of B"$

$=>F/0.05=1000/10$

$=>F=0.05xx100=5N$
