In a hydraulic machine, a force of 2 N is applied on the piston of area of cross section 10 cm2. What force is obtained on its piston of area of cross section 100 cm2 ?

उत्तर
Force on narrow piston , F1 = 2N
Area of cross - section of narrow piston , A1 = 10 cm2
Let Force on wider piston be F2
Area of cross - section of wider piston , A2 = 100 cm2
By the principle of hydraulic machine ,
Pressure on narrow piston = pressure on wider piston
or, `"F"_1/"A"_1 = "F"_2/"A"_2`
or , `2/10 = "F"_2/100`
or , `"F"_2 = 20 "N"`

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.
Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ, the liquid surface makes angle θ(θ << 1) with the x-axis at x = L. If y(x) is the height of the surface then the equation for y(x) is:

(take θ(x) = sin θ(x) = tan θ(x) = `dy/dx`, g is the acceleration due to gravity)
