A hydraulic lift is shown in the figure. The radii of the movable pistons P₁ and P₂ are 2 ~m and 5 ~m respectively. If a block of mass x is placed on P₂ then the minimum mass that should be kept on P₁ to lift the block on P₂ is
Options
- A0.4 x
- B0.16 x
- C0.8 x
- D025 x
Correct answer
B. 0.16 x
Step-by-step solution
Given r₁=2 ~m , r₂=5 ~m According to Pascal's law aligned p₁ & =p₂ F₁ A₁ & = F₂ A₂ m₁ g r₁^2 & = m₂ g r₂^2 aligned array rlrl & & m₁ r₁^2 & = m₂ r₂^2 & m₁ 2^2 & = x 5^2 & & m₁ & = 4 25 x & & =0.16 x array
