(N/A) Pascal's law states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel.
Significance:
$1$. It forms the fundamental principle behind hydraulic systems,such as hydraulic lifts,hydraulic brakes,and hydraulic jacks.
$2$. It allows for the multiplication of force,where a small input force applied to a small area can result in a much larger output force on a larger area,as defined by the relation $F_2 = F_1 \times (A_2 / A_1)$.

$A$ hydraulic lift as shown in the figure is used to lift a mass of $1000 \ kg$, which is placed on a piston $(P_1)$ of area $1 \ m^2$. If the cross-section area of the piston $(P_2)$ at the other end is $0.01 \ m^2$, then how much mass needs to be put on it to lift the $1000 \ kg$ (in $kg$)?

In a hydraulic lift,compressed air exerts a force $F$ on a small piston of radius $3 \ cm$. Due to this pressure,the second piston of radius $5 \ cm$ lifts a load of $1875 \ kg$. The value of $F$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

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? $(g = 9.8 \; m s^{-2})$
