Question:

lift mass prob?

The car lift in a gas station operates with an air pressure of 2000 kPa. The piston of the car lift has a diameter of 30 cm. What is the mass of the largest car that the lift can raise??please help, thanks

Answer:

Seems like you're missing some information to properly answer this question. Pressure times area is force, but lifting requires work, i.e., a distance as well. Nonetheless, if a car weighs more than the force appliable, it can't be lifted at all.
