D. 25F_1

  1. Apply Pascal's principle for an ideal hydraulic lift.

    Pascal's principle states that the pressure exerted on an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container. Therefore, the pressure at the input piston (P1P_1) is equal to the pressure at the output piston (P2P_2).

    P1=P2P_1 = P_2

    Since pressure P=FAP = \frac{F}{A}, we can write:

    F1A1=F2A2\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}
  2. Substitute the given relationship between the areas.

    We are given that A2=25A1A_2 = 25A_1. Substitute this into the equation from Step 1:

    F1A1=F225A1\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{25A_1}
  3. Solve for the output force F2F_2.

    To find F2F_2, multiply both sides of the equation by 25A125A_1:

    F2=F1A1×25A1F_2 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} \times 25A_1 F2=25F1F_2 = 25F_1

    The output force F2F_2 is 25F125F_1.
