A hydraulic lift in a garage has two pistons: a small one of cross-sectional area 5.00 cm2 and a large one of cross-sectional area of 375 cm2. If the lift designed to lift a car with a mass of 2000-kg truck, what minimum force (in newtons) must be applied to the small piston? [g = 9.80 m/s2] Express your answer in units of newtons but do not type units in your answer. For example, if your answer is 300 N, enter 300 as your answer.
