In a vehicle lifter, the enclosed gas exerts a force $F$ on a small piston of $8 \text{ cm}$ diameter. The pressure is transmitted to a second piston of diameter $24 \text{ cm}$. If the mass of the vehicle to be lifted is $1400 \text{ kg}$, then $F$ must at least be $(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$. (in $\text{ N}$)

  • A
    $1600$
  • B
    $1200$
  • C
    $1800$
  • D
    $700$

$A$ 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:

The diameters of two pistons of a hydraulic press are $0.1\, m$ and $0.6\, m$ respectively. What is the mechanical advantage of the hydraulic press,assuming the effort is applied directly on the pump plunger?

In a hydraulic lift,the surface area of the input piston is $6 \ cm^2$ and that of the output piston is $1500 \ cm^2$. If $100 \ N$ force is applied to the input piston to raise the output piston by $20 \ cm$,then the work done is . . . . . . $kJ$.

$A$ hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift vehicles of mass $5000\,kg$. The area of cross-section of the cylinder carrying the load is $250\,cm^2$. The maximum pressure the smaller piston would have to bear is [Assume $g = 10\,m/s^2$].
