  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.16$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D

Why does the bottom of a bottle filled with liquid break when the cork is hit?

In a hydraulic lift,compressed air exerts a force $F$ on a small piston of radius $3 \ cm$. Due to this pressure,the second piston of radius $5 \ cm$ lifts a load of $1875 \ kg$. The value of $F$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)
