Answer

6.18

Work Step by Step

Let's take, Force applied to the input piston = $F_{1}$ Force of the output plunger = $F_{2}$ We know that, Pressure at the output plunger = Pressure at the input plunger So, we can write, $\frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}}=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2}}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $\frac{55\space N}{\pi r_{1}^{2}}=\frac{2100\space N}{\pi r_{2}^{2}}=>\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\sqrt {\frac{2100}{55}}=6.18$
