Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ When you squeeze one end of a tube to get toothpaste out from the other end,Pascal's principle is observed.
Reason $R:$ $A$ change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.
  • B
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.

In a car lift,compressed air exerts a force $F_{1}$ on a small piston having a radius of $5.0 \; cm$. This pressure is transmitted to a second piston of radius $15 \; cm$. If the mass of the car to be lifted is $1350 \; kg$,calculate $F_{1}$. What is the pressure necessary to accomplish this task? $(g = 9.8 \; m s^{-2})$

State Pascal's law for pressure transmission and explain its significance.

$A$ hydraulic lift is shown in the figure. The radii of the movable pistons $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $2 \ m$ and $5 \ m$ respectively. If a block of mass $x$ is placed on $P_2$,then the minimum mass that should be kept on $P_1$ to lift the block on $P_2$ is (in $x$)

$A$ piston of cross-sectional area $2.5 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}^2$ is used in a hydraulic lift to exert a force of $250 \text{ N}$ on water. The cross-sectional area of the other piston which supports a car of mass $3000 \text{ kg}$ is $(g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2)$ (in $\text{ m}^2$)

Explain Pascal's law of pressure transmission.
