Figure 1 shows a pressurized hydraulic cylinder filled with biodegradable fluid.

Figure 1: Pressurized hydraulic cylinder filled with fluid.

The piston at the bottom of the cylinder has a surface area of 0.080 m2 in contact with the fluid.

The downward force exerted by the fluid on this piston is 5200 N.

Calculate the pressure, due to the fluid, acting on the piston.
