Answer

$D_{2}=1m$

Work Step by Step

According to Pascal's law: $P_{1}=P_{2}$ $F_{1}=25kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}=245.25N$ $A_{1}=\frac{\pi*(10cm*\frac{1m}{100cm})^2}{4}=0.0025\pi m^2$ $P_{1}=\frac{245.25N}{0.0025\pi m^2}=\frac{98100}{\pi}Pa$ $F_{2}=2500kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}=24525N$ $A_{2}=\frac{\pi*(D_{2}(m))^2}{4}=0.25\pi*(D_{2}(m))^2$ $P_{2}=\frac{24525N}{0.25\pi*(D_{2}(m))^2}=\frac{98100}{\pi*(D_{2}(m))^2}Pa$ Then: $\frac{98100}{\pi}Pa=\frac{98100}{\pi*(D_{2}(m))^2}Pa$. Solving for $D$: $D_{2}(m)=\sqrt \frac{9810\pi}{9810\pi}=1m$
