Answer

$f=102.81N$

Work Step by Step

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure of small piston is equal to the pressure of the large piston: $P_a=P_A$ $\frac{f}{a}=\frac{F}{A}$ $f=F\times \frac{a}{A}$ We plug in the known values in the formula to obtain: $f=20000\times\frac{\frac{\pi(0.038)^2}{4}}{\frac{\pi(0.53)^2}{4}}$ $f=102.81N$
