In a hydraulic machine, the area of small piston is 50 cm² and that of the large piston is 5 m². If an effort of 20 N is applied on the small piston, how much load
can be lifted on the large piston? Calculate.
[Ans: 2 × 10^N]

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
