Question

The figure shows a high-pressure hand pump used
for boosting oil pressure in a hydraulic line. When
the handle is in equilibrium at ? = 15° under the
action of a force P = 120 N, determine the oil 
pressure p which acts on the 46-mm-diameter 
piston. (Pressure on the top of the piston is 
atmospheric.)
