$A$ piston of cross-sectional area $2.5 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}^2$ is used in a hydraulic lift to exert a force of $250 \text{ N}$ on water. The cross-sectional area of the other piston which supports a car of mass $3000 \text{ kg}$ is $(g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2)$ (in $\text{ m}^2$)

Write a short note on hydraulic brakes.

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 $N$)
