$A$ 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 $x$)

$A$ 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.
