$A$ hydraulic lift is shown in the figure. The movable pistons $A, B$ and $C$ have radii of $10 \,cm, 100 \,cm$ and $5 \,cm$ respectively. If a body of mass $2 \,kg$ is placed on piston $A$, what are the maximum masses that can be lifted by pistons $B$ and $C$ respectively?

  • A
    $200 \,kg$ and $500 \,kg$
  • B
    $20 \,kg$ and $50 \,kg$
  • C
    $200 \,kg$ and $5000 \,kg$
  • D

$A$ 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
