उत्तर
SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa) or Nm−2
One Pascal: When a force of one newton acts normally on an area of one square metre (1 m2) then the pressure acting on the surface acting on the surface is called one Pascal.

The density of iron is 7800 kg m-3. What do you mean by this statement? What is density of water at 40C?
Assertion: Pascal’s law is the working principle of a hydraulic lift.
Reason: Pressure is thrust per unit area.
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.
