$A$ hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of $3000 \; kg$. The area of cross-section of the piston carrying the load is $425 \; cm^{2}$. What maximum pressure would the smaller piston have to bear?

$A$ hydraulic lift is shown in the figure. The radii of the movable pistons $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $2 \ m$ and $5 \ m$ respectively. If a block of mass $x$ is placed on $P_2$,then the minimum mass that should be kept on $P_1$ to lift the block on $P_2$ is (in $x$)

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

In a hydraulic lift,if the radius of the smaller piston is $5 \ cm$,and the radius of the larger piston is $50 \ cm$,then the weight that the larger piston can support when a force of $250 \ N$ is applied to the smaller piston is (in $kN$)

$A$ hydraulic press can lift $100\, kg$ when a mass $'m'$ is placed on the smaller piston. It can lift ......... $kg$ when the diameter of the larger piston is increased by $4$ times and that of the smaller piston is decreased by $4$ times,keeping the same mass $'m'$ on the smaller piston.
