The area of cross section of the two arms of a hydraulilc press are 1 cm^2 and 10 cm^2 respectively figure. A force of 5N is applied on the water in the thinner arm. What force should be applied on the water in the thicker arm so that the water may remain in equilibrium?

In equilibrium, the pressures t the two surfces should be equal as they lie in the same horizontal level. If the atmospheric pressure is P and a force F is applied to maintain the equilibrium the pressure are
`P_0+(5N)/(1cm^2)and P_0+F/(10cm^2)` respectively.
This given `F=50N`.

The area of cross-section of the two vertical arms of a hydraulic press are 1 cm ^(2) and 10 cm^(2) respectively. A force of 10N applied. As shown in the figure, to a tight fitting light piston in the thinner arm balances a force F applied to the corresponding piston in the thicker arm. Assuming that the levels of water in both the arms are the same, we can conclude:-
