Re: Stopping Power

Ain't so! If the force remains constant and the area gets bigger, pressure
drops.

ex:     F = p x a      let F = 10,  a = 2, then p = 10 / 2 = 5
                      now let F = 10,  a = 4, then p = 10 / 4 = 2.5

Smaller piston area equals higher piston pressure for a given force. You use a
large piston when the slave needs to move a lot.
