Pressure — practice question

The diagram represents a basic model of a car’s braking system. A force of $20\,\text{N}$ is applied to piston P. This produces a force $F$ on piston Q. Piston P has an area of $5.0\,\text{cm}^2$ and piston Q has an area of $25\,\text{cm}^2$. What is the force $F$?

  • A$4.0\,\text{N}$
  • B$20\,\text{N}$
  • C$100\,\text{N}$
  • D$500\,\text{N}$
