$A$ piston of cross-section area $100 \, cm^2$ is used in a hydraulic press to exert a force of $10^7 \, dynes$ on the water. The cross-sectional area of the other piston which supports an object having a mass $2000 \, kg$ is:

  • A
    $100 \, cm^2$
  • B
    $10^9 \, cm^2$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^4 \, cm^2$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{10} \, cm^2$

$A$ tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $CD$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the wall $AB$ is normal to the base $BC$. The lengths $AB$ and $CD$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $AB$,base $BC$ and the wall $CD$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then,approximately
