Answer

$99000\;lb$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are The given values are Mechanical advantage $MA=36:1$. Force applied to the small piston $F_s=2750\;lb$. Formula for the mechanical advantage is $\Rightarrow MA=\frac{F_l}{F_s}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow \frac{36}{1}=\frac{F_l}{2750\;lb}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 99000\;lb=F_l$ Hence, the $F_l$ is $99000\;lb$.
