Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an ideal hydraulic system, work input equals work output. Work is calculated as force times distance. So, if the input force is 200 N over a distance of 1 meter, the work done is 200 N * 1 m = 200 J. To find the output force when the distance is 0.1 meter, we set the work output equal to the work input: 200 J = Output Force * 0.1 m. Solving for Output Force gives 2000 N.
