Detailed Solution

Given that

Pump plunger                          Press plunger

d1=x            d2=5x

A1=πd124=πx24                         A2=πd224=π25x24

F1=?             F2=500kgf

We know for hydraulic press F1A1=F2A2

Fπx24=500π25x24

F=50025×1=20kgf

Given that mechanical advantage of pump plunger = 4

            i.e.,MA=FFA=4

FA=F4=20kgf4=5kgf
