$A$ hydraulic lift is shown in the figure. The movable pistons $A, B$ and $C$ have radii of $10 \,cm, 100 \,cm$ and $5 \,cm$ respectively. If a body of mass $2 \,kg$ is placed on piston $A$, what are the maximum masses that can be lifted by pistons $B$ and $C$ respectively?

  • A
    $200 \,kg$ and $500 \,kg$
  • B
    $20 \,kg$ and $50 \,kg$
  • C
    $200 \,kg$ and $5000 \,kg$
  • D
    None of the above

How does a fluid exert force on each point of the surface of a vessel?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ When you squeeze one end of a tube to get toothpaste out from the other end,Pascal's principle is observed.
Reason $R:$ $A$ change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

In a hydraulic lift,compressed air exerts a force $F$ on a small piston of radius $3 \ cm$. Due to this pressure,the second piston of radius $5 \ cm$ lifts a load of $1875 \ kg$. The value of $F$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

In a hydraulic jack as shown,the mass of the car is $W = 800 \, kg$,$A_1 = 10 \, cm^2$,and $A_2 = 10 \, m^2$. The minimum force $F$ required to lift the car is ........... $N$.
