प्रश्न
In a hydraulic lift, the input piston had surface area 30 cm2 and the output piston has surface area of 1500 cm2. If a force of 25 N is applied to the input piston, calculate weight/force on output piston.

उत्तर
Given:
A1 = 30 cm2 = 3 × 10−3 m2
A2 = 1500 cm2 = 0.15 m2,
F1 = 25 N
To find:
Weight on output piston.
Solution:
Using Pascal's law,
`"F"_1/"A"_1="F"_2/"A"_2`
∴ The force on the output piston,
F2 = `("F"_1 "A"_2)/"A"_1=(25 xx 0.15)/(3xx10^-3)`
= 25 × 50
= 1250 N
∴ The weight/force on the output piston is 1250 N.

Two vessels have the same base area but different shapes. The first vessel takes twice the volume of water that the second vessel requires to fill up to a particular common height. Is the force exerted by the water on the base of the vessel the same in the two cases? If so, why do the vessels filled with water to that same height give different readings on a weighing scale?
