Solution
Hydraulic press works on principle of hydraulic machine.
It states that a small force applied on a smaller piston is transmitted to produce a large force on the bigger piston.
Use: It is used for squeezing oil out of linseed and cotton seeds.

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)
