Consider the automobile hydraulic system shown in Figure. Suppose a force of 100 N is applied to the brake pedal, which acts on the pedal cylinder (acting as a "master" cylinder) through a lever. A force of 500 N is exerted on the pedal cylinder. Pressure created in the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the four wheel cylinders. The pedal cylinder has a diameter of 0.500 cm and each wheel cylinder has a diameter of 2.50 cm. How much pressure is transmitted in the hydraulic system? Express your answer in atmospheres.

Consider the automobile hydraulic system shown in Figure. Suppose a force of 100 N is applied to the brake pedal, which
acts on the pedal cylinder (acting as a "master" cylinder) through a lever. A force of 500 N is exerted on the pedal cylinder.
Pressure created in the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the four wheel cylinders. The pedal cylinder has a diameter of
0.500 cm and each wheel cylinder has a diameter of 2.50 cm. How much pressure is transmitted in the hydraulic system?
Express your answer in atmospheres.
