$A$ hydraulic lift as shown in the figure is used to lift a mass of $1000 \ kg$, which is placed on a piston $(P_1)$ of area $1 \ m^2$. If the cross-section area of the piston $(P_2)$ at the other end is $0.01 \ m^2$, then how much mass needs to be put on it to lift the $1000 \ kg$ (in $kg$)?

In a vehicle lifter, the enclosed gas exerts a force $F$ on a small piston of $8 \text{ cm}$ diameter. The pressure is transmitted to a second piston of diameter $24 \text{ cm}$. If the mass of the vehicle to be lifted is $1400 \text{ kg}$, then $F$ must at least be $(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$. (in $\text{ N}$)

$A$ tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $CD$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the wall $AB$ is normal to the base $BC$. The lengths $AB$ and $CD$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $AB$,base $BC$ and the wall $CD$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity.
