Piston 1 in Figure P9.24 has a diameter of 0.30 in. Piston 2 has a diameter of 1.3 in. In the absence of friction, determine the force, , necessary to support the 500 lb weight.
here is the url to the figure: http://www.webassign.net/sf/p9_24.gif...
ive done this about 10 different ways and keep getting the wrong answer. any help will be appreciated, thanks a lot guys!

Hi. Your link is bad. Usually there is a pressure applied to one of the pistons and the other exerts a force based on area difference. Twice the area, twice the force. Your ratio is .3 to 1.3. Hope this helps.

Bad link.
All else being equal, the areas are directly proportional.
Refer to Cirric's answer.
