Answer:

166.67 N

Explanation:

Applying Pascal's principle,

Presure in the smaller piston(P') = Pressure in the bigger piston(P)

But,

Pressure = Force/Area

Pressure in the smaller piston(P') = Force applied to the smaller piston(F')/Area of the smaller piston(A')

Pressure in the bigger piston(P) =  Force applied to the bigger piston(F)/Area of the bigger piston(A)

F'/A' = F/A.................. Equation 1

Make F the subject of the equation

F = F'A/A'.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F' = 20 N, A = 120 cm², A' = 10 dm² = (10×100) = 1000 cm²

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = 20(1000)/120

F = 166.67 N

State newton's universal law of gravitation
Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass.  The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.  The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE:  Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs.  Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction.  Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)

Andrew [12]
For the most part aesthetics but you could argue they reduce air turbulence in some cases which would lead to better gas mileage. On sports cars however the goal is usually down force which is not wanted on economy cars as it can actually worsen gas mileage.

I hope that answered your question.
