Question
The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1780 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass 48.0 kg resting on the output plunger. The piston and plunger are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?

The piston and plunger are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?Explanation / Answer
According to the Pascal law
The Pressure Remain Constant
Therefore
F/A = Constant
Therefore
F/15 = (48*9.8)/65
F = 108.554 N
F = kx
Therefore
x = F/k
= (108.554)/(1780)
= 0.06098 m
