Answer:
Choice A: approximately , assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.
Explanation:
Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:
.
By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.
Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be . In other words:
.
To achieve a force of , the surface area of the second piston should be:
.
