    minimum pressure on the piston is 2281.25 KPa

    Explanation:

    Given data in question

    surface area (A) = 0.008 m²

    load (L1) = 1250 kg

    weight (W) = 6000 N

    to find out

    minimum pressure on the piston

    Solution

    we have given load and weight

    so total force acting on it load + weight

    total force = 1250 kg + 6000 N

    total force = 12250 N + 6000 N = 18250 N

    convert 1250 kg = 12250 N

    Now we apply power formula i. e.

    power = force / area

    put the value force and area in power equation

    power = 18250 / 0.008

    power = 2281250 Pa

    power = 2281.25 KPa

    so the minimum pressure on the piston is 2281.25 KPa
