# A technician applies a force of \( 150 \) \( \text{N} \) to a small syringe with a plunger area of \( 2.0 \times 10^{-4} \) \( \text{m}^{2} \). The syringe is connected to a larger cylinder with an area of \( 8.0 \times 10^{-3} \) \( \text{m}^{2} \). What is the gauge pressure transmitted throughout the fluid?

A technician applies a force of \( 150 \) \( \text{N} \) to a small syringe with a plunger area of \( 2.0 \times 10^{-4} \) \( \text{m}^{2} \). The syringe is connected to a larger cylinder with an area of \( 8.0 \times 10^{-3} \) \( \text{m}^{2} \). What is the gauge pressure transmitted throughout the fluid?

- **A.** \[ 1.875 \times 10^{4} \] \( \text{Pa} \)
- **B.** \[ 7.5 \times 10^{5} \] \( \text{Pa} \)
- **C.** \[ 8.5 \times 10^{5} \] \( \text{Pa} \)
- **D.** \[ 0.03 \] \( \text{Pa} \)
